Garlic Green Beans with Pine Nuts

With so few ingredients in this dish, it may be the easiest thing I've ever made (other than the bowls of cereal and PB&J's that filled my formative years). So if your friends make fun of you for the time you tried to cook broccoli with your facial steamer, impress them with this recipe...it's fool-proof! 


Ingredients: 
10 oz. green beans, washed and trimmed
Olive Oil
1 Clove of Garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup pine nuts
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions: Serves 4
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Throw in the green beans and cook until just tender, about 3-5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, coat a skillet with oil and heat to medium. Add the garlic slices and cook for 1 minute. Then add the pine nuts and toast until brown, or about 3 minutes.
3. Drain the green beans and combine in skillet with garlic and pine nuts. Toss to coat in the skillet. 
4. Remove skillet from heat, toss with salt and pepper to taste, and serve!
