Step 1

Boil the beans in boiling water until tender, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the beans are boiling, in a medium/large frying pan add the oil, the bacon (pancetta), chopped shallot and garlic, cook until golden (3-5 minutes) on medium/high heat, stirring often (so it doesn't burn) until almost crispy or crispy if you prefer.

Step 3

Then add the cooked drained beans, sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss and cook for about one minute. Serve immediately.
