Sizzling green beans in a little oil helps to bring out their natural sweetness.
Add beans, return to a boil, and simmer until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add prosciutto; cook, stirring, until crispy, 4 to 5 minutes.
Drain on a paper towel.
Wipe out the pan; heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat.
Add the beans, garlic, sage, 1/8 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are browned in places, 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir in pine nuts, lemon zest and the prosciutto.
Season with lemon juice, the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper.
