Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1.5 lbs. green beans, washed and trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup walnuts, chopped
  • ½ cup basil pesto
  • 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)

Instruction

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water to cool.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add walnuts and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in pesto and balsamic vinegar until evenly combined.
  • Add green beans and toss to coat and warm through, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately with extra spoonfuls of pesto on top, if desired.
