Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 12 oz green beans, trimmed
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 count garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 7-8 minutes. Drain the noodles and set aside.
While the noodles cook, trim the green beans and rinse them under cold water. Set them aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to bubble.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender but still crisp.
Pour the soy sauce and lemon juice over the green beans, then add the crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are fully coated in the sauce and heated through, about 2 minutes.
If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy your Skillet Green Beans and Noodles as a main dish or a side.
