Very easy, elegant, and even my picky 6 year old ate every bite! I steamed frozen whole green beans and added them to the garlic/pine nut mixture. The only addition I used was a few dashes of seasoned salt, to add a bit more garlic flavor to the dish. A keeper for our family~

Pretty good...has a very subtle flavor and is very easy to make. I steamed the beans in a steamer and then just tossed with the heated ingredients. It would probably be good with some crumbled bacon thrown in too.

This is a simple and tasty recipe. It was my first Thanksgiving cooking and the family loved these. Be sure to make extra because these go fast!

Normally I love pine nuts, and I found the 1/4 of a cup to be an overpowering flavor. This recipe was a disappointment.

I've looke all over for this recipe - we used it at our Italian family Christmas party - as we were all tired of green beans with tomotoes. This has been a nice addittion to our menue. However, I do add soy sauce and sometimes either worsteshire or terriyaki while cooking - adds a nice flavor.

Great recipe. I had to cook the beans a little longer (maybe 4 minutes more) to make them a little softer. I used slivered almonds, instead of pine nuts, and it was good. Will definitely make this again.

After tasting this I thought it was OK but seemed to be missing something for my taste so I added 1/4 cup butter and sprinkled with garlic salt and garlic pepper.

These are wonderful! We like garlic, so I added more than the recipe calls for. So easy, too.

I served these beans for Christmas dinner. They were excellent. For those of you with kids, my five year old ate ALL the leftovers. I will definately serve these again. The only thing I did differently was cook the beans for 15 minutes instead of 5. We like green beans with a softer texture, but that is purely a matter of preference.

This was so delicious and so simple! I used frozen fancy cut green beans and it turned out great! This dish looks like you spent a lot of time on it. Perfect for a special occasion.

Nice and simple. I used crushed pecans b/c I had them on hand. Be careful not to burn the nuts like I did! I boiled the beans like the recipe called for, but I have made a similiar recipe where you sautee the beans in the olive oil instead of boiling. It takes great both ways.

Loved the recipe, a nice fresh twist! Thanks for sharing. If you don't have Pine Nuts, you can use slivered almonds also.

This is the best green bean recipe I ever used. Everything in it was my husbands favorite...The garlic and the pinenuts. I always keep pinenuts in a sealed container in my freezer, to add to the flavor of many recipes. I seasoned the hot beans in the strainer, before adding them to the garlic and pinenuts. The green beans retained their color and looked lovely besides tasting wonderful. Thank you for a great recipe. Nancy
