GREEN BEANS WITH ORANGE AND ROSEMARY

2 lbs. green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. minced fresh rosemary leaves
2 tsp. freshly grated orange zest
salt and pepper to taste

Steam or boil green beans until they are tender-crisp; drain beans. While beans cook, mix the remaining ingredients in a small saucepan and heat on low until the butter melts. Place the beans in a serving dish and pour orange sauce over them. Serves 8.
