Dressed Up Italian Green Beans


Green beans were never a favorite vegetable of mine, until i tasted this version of them. Try to use fresh green beans, but frozen will work in a pinch. This is wonderful with asparagus also!!

Steps


Wash beans , trim ends and remove strings.
Combine beans and water in a dutch oven.
Bring to a boil.
Cover , reduce heat and simmer 6 to 8 minutes until crisp-tender.
Drain.
Plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process.
Drain beans and set aside.
Saute mushrooms and next 7 ingredients in oil in a dutch oven.
Stir in beans and cook until thoroughly heated.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
