1 pound green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Zest of 1 lemon

In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch green beans until bright green in color, about 2 minutes. Drain well and cool in a bowl of ice water. Drain well and set aside.
