Garlic Parmesan String Beans

Directions

1. 1
   Put the string beans into a small saucepan. Add water to come about 1/3 of the way up. On high heat, bring to a boil and simmer for just 2-3 minutes. Make sure the beans are still a bright green. Drain and leave uncovered.
2. 2
   Meanwhile, in a large (preferably cast iron) frying pan, heat the butter on medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook stirring for about 2 minutes, until the garlic is letting off a nice aroma.
3. 3
   Add the drained string beans and cook, stirring from time to time, for about 5 minutes to incorporate the flavors.
4. 4
   Transfer the beans to a serving platter. Sprinkle the cheese over them and serve immediately.
