Directions:

Trim ends from green beans and cut into 2- to 3-inch lengths. Set aside. Fill a
Bowl with ice and water and set aside.
Bring milk, 4 cups water, salt and sugar to boil in a 6-quart saucepan.
Add green beans and cook over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes, until green beans are
Crisp-tender. (Adjust heat if necessary to keep milk mixture from boiling over.)
Remove green beans with a slotted spoon and drop in ice water. Drain and roll in
Paper towels.
Reserve about 1/3 cup of the cooking liquid and discard the rest.
Place pancetta in a 12-inch skillet with 1 1/2 cups water. Cook over medium heat
Until water evaporates and pancetta crisps, about 25 minutes. Stir occasionally
As the water disappears to brown all sides. Remove pancetta with a slotted
Spoon and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon fat in the skillet. Can be made
Ahead to this point.
Refrigerate green beans, cooking liquid and pancetta separately. You'll need to add a little fat to the skillet to finish the dish.
Place skillet over high heat and add the reserved cooking liquid and the green
Beans. Cook about 5 minutes, until cooking liquid evaporates. Add butter and 2
Tablespoons each mint and parsley. Cook until the butter melts. Season to taste
With salt and pepper. Add pancetta and pecans and toss until everything is
Heated through.
Place on a serving platter and sprinkle with remaining 2
Tablespoons each mint and parsley.
