Beans Recipe + Italian Green Beans with Blue Cheese

My family loves vegetables, and I am always looking for new ways to spice them up. This recipe is one of our favorites for green beans. I use blue cheese, but feta or mozzarella can be substituted.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds fresh green beans, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup crumbled blue cheese

Cooking Directions

1. Combine beans, olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, and salt in a microwave-safe dish.
2. Cover and cook in the microwave on high, stirring twice, until beans are tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in blue cheese. Serve immediately.
