For all those string beans

Here's a simple, quick and delicious way to transform your string beans. This is my go-to recipe when I get tired of eating them raw. It's also great with snap peas.

Sauteed String Bean with Ricotta Salata and Mint

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 lb string beans, cleaned and cut crosswise

3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind

1/3 cup Ricotta Salata (or feta)

salt and pepper

Directions:

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl. Add peas; sauté 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir in mint, rind, pepper, and salt. Sprinkle with cheese.
