Green Beans in Butter and Lemon with Parmigiano Reggiano

Green Beans in Butter and Lemon with Parmigiano Reggiano

I had some green beans and I was wondering what to do with them. I was looking in my fridge for ideas and I came across a lemon. I thought that I would fry the green beans in butter and add some lemon juice. It was pretty good. I really like butter and lemon. I imagine that a simple butter and lemon sauce would go well on a lot of vegetables. This is a pretty quick and easy side dish.
