Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 large shallots, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan Crisps, recipe follows

Directions

Cook the green beans in a large pot of boiling water until just crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Drain well; set aside.

Melt the butter and oil in a heavy, large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add the beans and cook until the juices evaporate and the beans are almost tender, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Stir in the wine and basil. Simmer 2 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl, and serve.

Parmesan Crisps:

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Pour a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan onto a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet and lightly pat down. A silicone baking sheet is highly recommended. Repeat with the remaining cheese, spacing the spoonfuls about a 1/2-inch apart.

Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool.

Yield: 8 to 10 crisps

Fabulous!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made these quite a few times with Awesome results every time. Fancy enough for holidays, easy and inexpensive enough... for weeknight dinners. I like a little tang so I add a little white wine vinegar with the wine. I have even made with canned green beans to spruce up a weeknight meal when I didn't have time or money to go to the store. Also have tried the same method with lightly steamed broccoli thrown in with the rest at the very end. Kids cobbled it up. Also very healthy. Have never tried the Parm crisps but they sound wonderful. Love Love Love. Thanks Giada.Read more

So-o-o delicious!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Downloaded this recipe back in December, but just got around to making it last night.............well worth the wait!!!! ... Also was able to use some of my newly acquired basil; we live on a boat, and I finally put together an herb "garden" (basil, flat-leaf parsley, and rosemary) in a window box set out on the dock!!Read more

Easy to prepare; fantastic flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm not known for my cooking skills, but was asked to bring a vegetable dish to a birthday party for a few close friends. I... was amazed at how easy it was to prepare, and my friends raved over it (my husband had the little bit that was leftover the next day; he was very impressed). An extremely easy dish to prepare, and so flavorful--definitely deserves a 5-star rating.Read more
