Szechuan Green Beans and Soba

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

Coming out of lurkdom to share a great recipe. Here's a yummy and easy pasta

dish I made the other night (note: this was cross-posted to TNT). This is a

great way to use up that bumper green bean crop! I added about 1/4 cup minced

onion to the dish with the garlic.

nice picnic dish.
