Ingredients:
4 cups green beans
1 stick butter
1 tablespoon garlic (minced or thinly sliced)
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper (more if you like it really spicy)
salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
- Put a medium-sized pot ⅔ full of water over high heat.
- Trim green beans, removing stems and brown ends.
- Place a medium-sized saute pan on low heat. Add butter, garlic and crushed red pepper. Allow to heat slowly and gently.
- Keep a close eye on this, if your flame is too high, your butter/garlic/crushed red pepper may burn.
- Once water has come to a boil, cook your green beans for 7 minutes or when beans are al dente.
- Remove from water, drain thoroughly and then toss in butter mixture.
- Season with salt and pepper then serve!
