Instructions

  • Open and drain the 2 (14.5-ounce) cans of green beans; drain well (you may rinse and drain again if desired).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and 2 teaspoons olive oil and heat until the butter is melted.
  • Add 4 cloves thinly sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté, stirring, about 1 minute, until fragrant and just beginning to soften (do not let it brown).
  • Add the drained green beans to the skillet, season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss to coat with the garlic-butter-oil.
  • Cook, stirring or tossing occasionally, until the beans are heated through and slightly tender, about 6–8 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat, sprinkle 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese over the beans, gently toss to combine, and serve immediately.
