In a small saucepan, heat two cups water to a boil. In a medium bowl, add ice and cold water. Place beans in water and boil for 2-3 minutes, until just tender. Drain and immediately pour into the ice bath. After five minutes, remove with a strainer or slotted spoon and let drain.
In a medium bowl, toss the beans with mint, shaved pecorino or caprone, a drizzle of olive oil, and a splash of lemon juice.
Season with salt and pepper.
