BEEF & TORTELLINI MARINARA WITH GREEN BEANS
This hearty Italian pasta stew is a tradition with my family. It's great served with crusty Italian bread to dip in the sauce and with a nice big green salad. I like to have a glass of red wine with this meal-in-one.-Joyce Frey, Jacksville, Kansas

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch until foamy; season with salt and pepper. Add the beef and chives, toss to coat in the marinade and stick it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Pour the peanut oil in a large skillet or wok and place over high heat. When the oil is smoking hot, add 1/2 of the beef. (If you fry all the meat at once the oil temperature will drop and the beef will stew instead of crisp.) Fry for 2 minutes then remove to a paper towel to drain; repeat with the remaining beef. Very carefully drain all but 2 tablespoons of the hot oil into a safe container.
- Stir-fry the ginger, garlic, green onions, and chile in the remaining oil until they perfume. Add the green beans; season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry the beans for 2 minutes until crisp-tender; remove from the pan. Mix the chicken broth with the remaining tablespoon of cornstarch to make a slurry and add it to the pan. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, peanut butter, and orange peel. Simmer until the sauce is thick, about 5 minutes. Return the beef and green beans to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce. Garnish with chopped peanuts and serve with rice.

BEEF WITH GREEN BEANS
We really enjoyed this super easy dinner which was printed in the newspaper (originally from Easy Chinese Stir-fries). Although I think you can cut the oil in half this isn't bad calorie wise using the amount listed. Also this seems like a lot of pepper but this really isn't a spicy dish -- I think the pepper tenderizes the meat some how.

GREEN BEANS AND TORTELLINI
This is fairly easy to make despite the various steps. It is excellent served with Meatloaf or Clamloaf. My son ate all his beans, so that is as good as five stars for me ;). I used Barilla brand Spinach and Cheese dried Tortellini and followed the package instructions to cook them.

- Run cold water over beans in sink to stop cooking and set aside.
