In my family, we are what'd you call haricots verts fiends: sometimes we just eat them plain, but ever since we saw this great recipe we use this on occasion and enjoy it.
a couple notes:
be careful how much and what part of the parmesan you use. If you grate your own then use the softer parts of the wheel/wedge -- it's a lighter flavor and makes the green beans (that's really what they are taste . And always go light!!! -- you can add more cheese and/or the harder/more flavorful parts of the cheese to the beans if you like later. The dairy definitely won't overcome the beans that way.
to Michelle, if your sour cream is curdled when the beans weren't (as you say hot, then A you had spoiled or nearly-spoiled sour cream or B the beans were too cold and couldn't liquify the sour cream. My beans are always scalding hot and steaming when they come out of the micromave -- they instantly liquify the sour cream.
Didn't you think it was odd that a pound of beans (which were STEAMING in the episode were lukewarm for you and couldn't liquify a measly 2 tablespoons of sour cream when again (in the episode the cream was liquified on contact???
