When green beans, summer squash and cherry tomatoes are plentiful in backyard gardens and farmers' markets, try this quick braise. We like the salty, nutty flavor of Parmesan, but you can use any flavorful cheese.

Wow super easy, absolutely delicious!! I used garlic instead of onion. Threw this together really quick. I also used broth, which was the only thing I measured. This is an excellent way to use up veggies.

Great for light lunch or dinner! We had some green beans left and I decided to make something easy, something light and, of course, healthy. I cooked my beans with white wine and they turned out very good. My fiance is a very picky eater and he really liked these beans. it is definately going to be one of our fav recipes .

excellent - tasty and light and just about perfect. Spring for the white wine, it really comes through in the flavor of the beans.
