Ingredients:

Serving

kosher salt
1 -2 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (it gives it a great zing !)
1 1/2 lbs green beans, trimmed
2 1/2 oz thinly sliced pancetta ( five or six 1/16- to 1/8-inch-thick slices)
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
6 medium cremini mushrooms, trimmed, halved if large, and very thinly sliced
2 medium-large shallots , halved lengthwise and very thinly sliced
1/4 cup very thinly sliced fresh sage leaf
1 tbsp sherry wine vinegar
1/2 tsp dijon mustard

Directions:

Fill a large mixing bowl with ice cubes and water and set aside.
Fill a 6- or 7-quart pot two-thirds full of well-salted water.
Bring the water to a boil and boil the beans uncovered until tender to the bite, 4 to 6 minutes.
Drain, transfer to the bowl of ice water, and let sit until cooled, about 2 minutes.
Drain and pat dry.
Put the pancetta in a 12-inch nonstick skillet and cook over medium-low heat until crisp and browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and coarsely crumble.
Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Add 2 Tbs. of the olive oil to the pan and return it to medium-high heat.
Add the mushrooms, shallots, and 1/4 teaspoons salt, crushed red pepper flakes, if using, and cook, stirring frequently, until both are nicely browned and shrunken, about 5 minutes.
Add the sage and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Take the pan off the heat and add the vinegar, mustard, and the remaining 1 Tbs. oil.
Stir to combine.
Return the pan to medium heat, add the green beans and toss to combine and heat through, 2 to 3 minutes.
Season to taste with salt & crushed red pepper flakes.
Transfer to a warm serving platter and garnish with the pancetta.
MAKE AHEAD TIPS:.
*The beans can be boiled and refrigerated up to 6 hours ahead.
**The remaining ingredients can also be prepped up to 6 hours ahead and held in the refrigerator.
***An hour before finishing, remove the beans from the refrigerator to come to room temperature.
