Crispy Green Beans with Pesto

The trick to learning to like vegetables you hate is to disguise their appearance and flavor. Think about what it is you dislike about that particular vegetable.
I asked Fred why he's anti-green beans. It turns out that he remembers the long, mushy canned beans from childhood.
Step 1: Chop the beans into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2: Change texture. Sauté them in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper on high heat until they're crispy on the outside and still slightly firm.
Step 3: Change the flavor: Add pesto (with homemade lemony basil from the co-op) and an extra bit of parmesan cheese!
Results: "Is this pasta?" Fred asks as I hand him a plate of beans. Submitted by: STEPFANIER

My kids are picky about spinach, but didn't even flinch at the sight of it inside the ricotta... I even added a bit more than what the recipe called for. Very easy and light... I will possibly add a bit of pepper and/or Italian spices to add a bit more flavor. I'll definitely make again! - 3/17/09

I loved these! They are great for a nice, light dinner and at around 80 calories a shell, I don't feel bad having a little more! - 3/6/09
