Every time I serve these everyone wants the recipe. The fresh ingredients make all the difference. I love them and I'm not a huge fan of many vegetables.

Nice change from the usual boring green beans. I actually forgot to put in the parmesan cheese, so I’m sure it will be even more delicious next time I make it and remember :)
