- 12 cup Cotija cheese or 12 cup asiago cheese, shredded
- 2 scallions, sliced
- Heat 2 T oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat.

- Add the remaining 1 T oil to the pan and heat over medium.
- Add green beans, onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the beans are beginning to soften, 3-5 minutes.

- Stir in broth and the toasted pasta; bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook, stirring once or twice until the pasta is tender and most of the broth is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
