Ingredients

• 1 pound green beans
• 8 ounces mushrooms (cremini or button)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 6 leaves fresh sage leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the green beans and wash them thoroughly under cold water. Set aside.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Blanch the green beans for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain immediately and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set them aside.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and started to bubble, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.

Step 7

Chop the sage leaves finely and stir them into the mushrooms. Cook for 1 more minute to release their aroma.

Step 8

Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the beans to warm through and absorb the flavors.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it on top just before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot as a flavorful side dish.
