Fresh from the Farmers Market

I made this recipe about a week ago after stopping by my local farmers market - there's nothing like fresh veggies and fruit from area farmers. I altered the recipe slightly from the one provided by Cornell Cooperative Extension.

Fresh Beans with Basil and Pasta

Ingredients
Serves 2-3

1/3 cup Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
1 lb green or yellow beans, trimmed
1 small boiling onion, sliced
3 tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
pasta of your choice

Step 1 - Heat dressing in large skillet on medium heat. Add in beans and onions, cover. Cook for 5 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender.
Step 2 - While beans are cooking, begin cooking your pasta
Step 3 - When done, mix pasta with beans. Top with basil and cook for an additional minute, covered. Serve warm.
