Green Beans with Pancetta

1 pound of green beans, ends trimmed and cut in half. Penelope used kitchen shears to trim off the edges and halve the beans.
1 small package of pancetta chopped up.
2 to 3 green onions chopped
2 to 3 minced garlic cloves
A couple pats of butter
Salt and Pepper

Put the beans in a pot of salted boiling water for about 5 minutes. Remove the beans and place in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain beans. Take your pancetta and fry it up in a pan. Add the green beans, onions, garlic and butter and sauté making sure to get everything all mixed together. Add salt and pepper and enjoy, preferably with a nice steak and sautéed mushrooms like we did.
