Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh green beans cut in half if desired, blanched until crisp-tender, drained and dried
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ to ½ cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 ounce prosciutto thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley I prefer Italian
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large sauté pan. When hot, add the walnut pieces, sauté until browned and fragrant (take care not to burn them). Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel. 
  • Add the prosciutto to the oil and fry until crisp; remove to the paper towel to drain. 
  • Add the beans, sauté until hot and just beginning to brown a little. Return the walnuts and prosciutto to the pan; add the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
