Ingredients

  • 750 g green beans, trimmed

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • 2 tbsp pesto

Instructions

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, trim stem ends from beans. Scissors do a good job. (Beans can be trimmed a day ahead and refrigerated in a sealed bag.) Add beans to boiling water and cook, partially covered, until just tender, 3 to 5 min. Then drain well and toss with butter and pesto.
