This cheesy, pleasantly piquant side takes a cue from the classic Roman pasta. Built for ease, this one-pan recipe calls to first sauté the green beans in a pan until glossy and coated in black pepper-infused olive oil, then to pour in a big splash of water and steam the beans until tender. Since salty Pecorino Romano cheese has the tendency to clump when tossed into a hot pan, it’s layered among the juicy beans directly on the serving dish instead; the residual heat will do the job of melting it.

Yield:8 to 10 servings

Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided sauté pan with a lid or a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the green beans and cook, tossing with tongs frequently, until the beans are glossy and bright but still crisp, about 5 minutes. 1.
Step 2
Add 1 teaspoon pepper, season with salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the pepper is toasted and fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. 1.
Step 3
Carefully pour ⅔ cup of water into the pan and immediately cover. Cook, tossing halfway through, until the beans are vibrant green and crisp-tender and the water has almost completely evaporated, about 4 minutes. 1.
Step 4
Uncover and remove from the heat. Give the beans a toss again then transfer half to a serving platter, spreading them out in an even layer. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the beans. Top with the remaining beans and garnish with the remaining cheese and several more grinds of pepper.
