If it is “chewy” keep the beans cooking a bit longer.

Drain and place the beans in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
Drain again and set aside.
Heat a large saute pan on medium high heat.
Add the diced pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the pancetta from the pan to a plate.
Add the shallots to the pan.
Add butter to the pan; add the drained green beans and pancetta.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Stir constantly until the beans are hot and are well mixed with the shallots and pancetta.
