French Green Beans In Cream - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 ounces green beans, ends snapped
1/4 cup butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 -4 slices prosciutto
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
5 ounces cream or 5 ounces half-and-half

Preparation

Cut the ends off the beans, then cook in salted boiling water until just tender. I steam them til they are still crisp and bright green.
Run cold water over beans to stop the cooking process.
Melt butter in a large pan and gently cook onions until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add Prosciutto, garlic, and parsley and cook for 3 minutes.
Add the cream, stirring constantly, and bring to a light boil. Do not leave unattended, otherwise cream will burn.
Once mixture is hot, add green beans, mix to coat and warmed through.
I did the sauce and green beans ahead, mixed them together and reheated on the stove. Turned out great!
