In a saucepan, bring beans and water to a boil; reduce heat to Medium. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender; drain and set aside. In a large skillet, saute garlic in butter until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add beans, salt and pepper; heat through. Yield: 4-6 servings.
