Green Beans with Creamy Pistachio Sauce image

I was asked to bring vegetables for a party and wasn't feeling inspired until I remembered Mom served green beans with butter and evaporated milk. I love pistachios, so I added those instead of almonds. Everybody wanted the recipe, and I was really pleased-very little work and lots of happy family and friends! -Loretta Ouellette, Pompano Beach, Florida

This recipe is a fail. The sauce was too runny, and the green beans were overcooked.

I accidentally used roasted pistachios instead of raw pistachios, and the sauce turned out a bit bitter. Other than that, the recipe was great.

I found that the recipe was a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

I was a bit skeptical about the pistachio sauce, but it turned out to be amazing! It was creamy and nutty, and it paired perfectly with the green beans.

This recipe was an absolute delight to make! The creamy pistachio sauce was rich and flavorful, and the green beans retained their vibrant color and crisp texture. My family loved it, and I will definitely be making it again.
