Instructions
DROP garlic through spout of a food processor while it’s running. Add basil, almonds, parmesan, lemon juice and salt. Pulse until finely chopped. With motor still running, slowly add oil, pausing after every couple of tbsp to scrape down side with a spatula.
BRING a large pot of water to a boil. Add green beans and cook until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 min. Drain, then return beans to pot. Add pesto; stir to coat. Transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with lemon zest.
