Side Dish Ideas For This Recipe

Not sure what to serve with this delicious pasta? No worries! We've got some great suggestions here for you to look through. Consider each one, and pick the one that makes the most sense for you!

Since you already have to get tomatoes for this recipe, why not make a salad? This one might not be a hit with the kids, but getting everyone their daily dose of vegetables is important. You can keep it simple with a house salad, or try something more complicated and fancy.

Cheddar cheese biscuits will certainly be a bigger hit with kids. These delicious biscuits are so mouth-wateringly good that everyone will want seconds and thirds! You can also just go with plain biscuits as an alternative, if you just want to be able to buy a roll of dough from the store and leave it at that.

Finally, why not try making your own garlic bread? There are few things better in life than warm, homemade garlic bread. Everyone in your family will love having a slice (or two or three!) alongside their pasta.
