Italian Green Beans

ITALIAN GREEN BEANS

The WW cookbook called for "Italian Green Beans," but didn't include a recipe. I totally made is up as I went, and I was very happy with the results!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. fresh green beans, snapped in half
• 1 T. butter
• 1 T. olive oil
• 1 tsp. minced garlic
• chicken broth (maybe 1/2 cup?)
• 1 medium tomato, cut into chunks
• 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
• salt & pepper, if desired

Heat butter and olive oil in medium skillet until butter is melted. Stir in garlic and Italian seasoning. Add green beans and stir to coat. Add chicken broth and stir. Cover pan and simmer about 10 minutes until beans are crisp tender. Add tomato and salt & pepper, if desired. Stir; cover pan and simmer about 5 more minutes until tomatoes are tender.

This would probably be pretty good topped with some freshly grated Parmesan too!
