Recipe:
Farfalle with Arugula and White Beans
Serves 4 - prep time: 10 minutes - total time: 25 minutes
Quickly wilted arugula, canned beans, and toasted walnuts add heft to this vegetarian main course. Try spinach in place of arugula and pine nuts instead of walnuts.
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces farfalle
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 pound baby arugula
1 can (15 1/2 ounces) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup walnut pieces, toasted for garnish
1. Bring a pot of water to a boil; add a generous amount of salt. Cook pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water; drain pasta.
2. Add 1 tablespoon butter and the garlic to the pot; cook over medium heat, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add arugula; toss just until wilted.
3. Add beans, pasta, and remaining 3 tablespoons butter; season with salt and pepper. Heat, tossing, until butter is melted and beans and pasta are warmed through, about 1 minute. Add enough reserved pasta water to create a thin sauce to coat pasta.
4 To serve, divide among shallow bowls, and garnish with walnuts.

Great cookbook,
By
This review is from: Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast: 250 Easy, Delicious Recipes for Any Time of Day (Paperback)
This is a must have cookbook. The recipes are short and to the point, can be put together quickly (including weeknights), are delicious and special enough for easy entertaining. The one page format with gorgeous pictures is inspiring, and because the ingredients are few and generally easily available--you just do it. Plus there's great variety in the recipes with enough twists on the familiar to keep everyone happy. When I don't know what to make for dinner this week, this is where I start.

ok so I know you're thinking this is just another cookbook right? no its really not, I have been using this book for the last month or so, and I could always find a recipe that I don't need to go shopping for, they're simple, not too many ingredients and they actually taste good (for so many of them I was like that's it? can't taste good...but I was way wrong) they are also quick, for a busy mom of 2 who wants to eat healthy this one's great when you're short on time (which is like always) and there are some pretty kid friendly things in there too. try it, you wont be wasting your money

Great Cookbook!,
By B. Morehead - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast: 250 Easy, Delicious Recipes for Any Time of Day (Paperback)
I subscribe to Everyday Food and use the recipes constantly. I've never made an Everyday Food recipe that wasn't really good. I went ahead and bought the cookbook because it was a really good price, even though they've all been in the magazine. Some cooks might think that the recipes are fancy or complicated by looking at the titles or photographs, but they're really easy, and use easy-to-find ingredients, even in a small town. I also like the fact that the recipes never call for processed ingredients, like cream of mushroom soup, etc. Also, some of the recipes venture out from typical family fare, and many might say that their families won't eat the food. My philosophy is that if your family is hungry, they will eat what you provide, unless you want to be a short-order cook every night. This book is arranged differently than the first book. Where the first one was arranged by season (which I happen to really like), this one is arranged by meals and courses. Also, in regard to a previous low-rated review because of the binding, mine arrived in fine shape.

Great if You Don't Subscribe to the Magazine,
By J. Blum - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast: 250 Easy, Delicious Recipes for Any Time of Day (Paperback)
The recipes in this cookbook are very good. But because I am a subscriber of the magazine (which is excellent, by the way), this book is nothing more than a compilation of recipes from the magazine. If you don't subscribe, it's a great cookbook. If you do subscribe, all of the recipes will be very familiar, and you will spend double the money on the same thing.

Love This Book,
By Tricia Vickers "loves to cook!" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast: 250 Easy, Delicious Recipes for Any Time of Day (Paperback)
Enjoyed the first book and now I have another 250 recipes to make. All of the dishes turn out just as pretty as the pictures and taste great as well. I bought this book for both of my grown kids, who are beginner cooks and they both love it as well. They both said that having the pictures help them realize what the dish should look like and whether they are interested in making the recipe. Both of the cook books in this series make a wonderful addition to my cookbook collection.
