Green Beans with Ricotta Salata image

Ricotta salata is an aged and salted ricotta cheese. Unlike fresh ricotta, it can be sliced or crumbled. Mild feta can be used instead.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pound string beans, stem ends trimmed
2 ounces ricotta salata cheese, crumbled
20 small fresh basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of cold water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt and trimmed beans. Cook until beans are just tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and immediately plunge beans into an ice-water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain, pat dry, and place in a large bowl along with ricotta salata and basil leaves.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, olive oil, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
  • Pour vinaigrette over bean mixture and toss well.

This dish was a disappointment. The green beans were overcooked and the ricotta salata was too salty.

I followed the recipe exactly but the green beans were too crunchy for my liking. I think I would have liked them better if I had cooked them for a few minutes longer.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more salt and pepper.
