For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar during the last minute of cooking. Fresh green beans can be substituted for frozen; just adjust cooking time accordingly. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce or omit the crushed red pepper flakes. A sprinkle of toasted almonds or parmesan cheese adds a delightful finishing touch.
