Green Bean Spaghetti with Toasted Pine Nuts and Sun-dried Tomato


At the the local farmers market last weekend I came across the most unique vegetables, one of which was these super long green beans. I sautéed them last night with some onions, garlic and chicken broth and added the pine nuts for crunch and sun-dried tomatoes for a tangy bite.

Ingredients

1 bunch long beans, washed and trimmed
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/2 Tbsp garlic, minced
Extra virgin olive oil spray
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
2 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
Garlic sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Heat a large, straight sided skillet over medium high heat and spray with the EVOO spray.

2. Add the onion, season with garlic salt and pepper and sauté for three minutes. Add the garlic and sauté another minute.

3. Add the beans, some additional salt and pepper to taste and coat beans with EVOO spray. Sauté for two minutes, then pour the chicken broth in and stir to deglaze the pan. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer for six minutes until the green beans are crisp/tender.

4. Top with the toasted pine nuts and sun-dried tomatoes.
