I had to use a can of string beans but used my fresh basil. It turned out delicious. Next time I will add more basil. Thanks! -
We love fresh green beans and these were delicious! I used dried basil b/c I didn't have fresh on hand, but know it would be so much better with fresh! -
What a delightful change for green beans - love the basil introduction to the flavor of the beans. The flavor is subtle but gives the beans a lift, Thanks Kangastyle delightful recipe -
Elegantly simple and simply perfect. Can't wait to harvest this year's beans and have this again. We had guests for dinner and they raved as well. Didn't and won't change a thing.
