Pancetta Green Beans

This is a perfect side dish that comes together quickly! Using ready-made steamer packs cuts out most of the dishes too! The only dish you’ll need for these Pancetta Green Beans is one 12-inch sauté pan!

Pancetta Green Beans

Pancetta gives this side dish crunch and a little bit of that something extra! The pancetta really jazzes up these green beans.

Pancetta Green Beans

My husband loves blistered green beans, so after I steam them in the microwave, I like to sauté them in some butter to get that char and extra flavor out of them.

And there you have it! An easy and tasty side dish to pair with your next meal. Enjoy.
