3 Things I Love About the Cookbook A Year of Favorites
Before we move on to the One Pot Garlic Noodles recipe, let me tell you what I love about this cookbook!
1. If you are familiar with the Favorite Family Recipes blog, you know that behind the blog are 4 sisters. Echo, Elise, Emily and Erica all work together to make their blog (and this cookbook) what it is today. It’s a fantastic resource for anyone looking for classic and creative recipes your family will love. Their newest cookbook is sure to be the same. It’s one of those books you turn to time and time again for quick and simple recipes to feed your family.
2. A Year of Favorites is broken out by month. It truly is a rundown of the authors favorite recipes from each month of the year. What does this mean for you? It means you can flip to any month of the cookbook and find recipes that are seasonal to that month. Are you looking for a good recipe for grilling in July? The Asian Glazed Pork Kabobs are the perfect choice. How about an appetizer to share during December holiday entertaining? The Cranberry Almond Bacon Cheese Ball recipe will be one your guests will love. From beverages to desserts and everything in between, this book has close to 345 pages of recipe ideas for you.
3. After each chapter in this cookbook, readers will find a few pages to add their own favorite family recipes. I absolutely LOVE this idea so much! I understand that this part of the book was very important to Echo, Elise, Emily and Erica. I am so glad they included these pages because it’s such a great idea. These extra pages turn A Year of Favorites from a cookbook full of great family recipes to a treasure to own. With a few simple pages readers can feel like this cookbook by one family can be a cookbook for all families.

About the One Pot Garlic Noodles Recipe
Today I’m sharing this One Pot Garlic Noodles recipe to show you how great the recipes in this cookbook are. I chose to feature this recipe because it’s extremely adaptable. You can add broccoli or chicken for a main dish that’s ready in less than 30 minutes. It can also serve as an easy side dish that goes with just about anything.
The original recipe calls for linguini but you can substitute spaghetti or angel hair pasta as well. In the end you have a quick cooking pasta dish with flavorful bits of minced garlic and parmesan cheese. What’s best is there’s even no need to drain the cooked noodles . It all simmers in one pot and the liquid absorbs resulting in a pasta dish bathed in a creamy garlic sauce.
If you are looking for a great weeknight meal, look no further than this One Pot Garlic Noodles recipe. Also, if you want more family friendly recipes like this one, make sure to get the cookbook A Year of Favorites. I promise it’s full of great recipes your family will love! Enjoy!
