Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Pound fresh green beans, divided
• 1 Tablespoon butter, melted
• 0.25 Cups heavy cream
• 2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 Pinch nutmeg, ground
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch black pepper, ground
• 2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and return to a boil. Cook uncovered until the beans are bright green and barely tender, about 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
3. Gently stir the cooked green beans into the creamy mixture to coat them evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Return the mixture to a simmer, then transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese before serving.
