Pesto Green Beans image

I'm always looking for simple vegetable side dishes for my picky kids. They love this one, and it's quick and really simple. If I know I'm going to be pressed for time, I'll trim the ends of the green beans the night before. Use your favorite jarred pesto. Adapted from Southern Living Ultimate Quick and Easy.

I'm not sure why anyone would ever want to eat this recipe. It's disgusting.

This recipe is the worst thing I have ever tasted. I would rather eat my own shoe.

This recipe is an abomination. The pesto coating was burnt and the beans were mushy.

I would not recommend this recipe to anyone. It was a waste of time and ingredients.

This recipe is not worth the effort. The pesto coating was too thick and the beans were undercooked.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pesto coating didn't turn out crispy. It was more like a soggy mess.

I followed the recipe exactly and the beans came out overcooked. I think I would cook them for less time next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some garlic and red pepper flakes next time to give it more flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The pesto was not overpowering and the beans were still the star of the dish.

I made this recipe for a potluck and it was a hit! Everyone raved about how delicious the green beans were.

This is a great way to use up leftover pesto. I had some leftover from making pasta the night before and it worked perfectly in this dish.

I'm not usually a fan of green beans, but this recipe changed my mind. The pesto coating was crispy and flavorful, and the beans were cooked perfectly.

This recipe is easy to follow and the pesto is so flavorful. I used fresh basil from my garden and it really made the dish pop.
