  • 1 pound string beans, preferably French, trimmed if necessary
  • 1 tablespoon butter

  3. Add the drained string beans and cook, stirring from time to time, for about 5 minutes to incorporate the flavors.
  4. Transfer the beans to a serving platter. Sprinkle the cheese over them and serve immediately.
