Pancetta Green Beans

 The French Friday with Dorie group is cooking Pancetta Green Beans this week!  What a great simple dish this is!  Green Beans are a great addition to almost any meal; and the addition of pancetta makes them special enough for company.
 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add green beans cook for about 5 minutes.
 Transfer to a ice-bath -- cool -- then pat dry.
Saute pancetta until crisp.

This recipe comes out of the cookbook Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan.  I have been so happy cooking with the group frenchfridayswithdorie.com  The recipes in this book are really amazing!!

    Green beans grace our table quite often. I love the addition of pancetta. What a great idea. I'll make a note in my Dorie book about this.

    I agree with how lovely these are for both a weeknight meal as well as an "entertaining night" meal. They look amazing and taste even better. They were a big hit in our house (and Nana's too) and we look foward to revisiting them with some of the great ideas I have picked up from the LYL's. I also love your Portmerion platter in the photo - what a perfect dish to use !
