Side Suggestions For This Recipe

Every dinner isn't complete without a side dish to go along with the main course. Side dishes for pasta can vary; we have some suggestions here if you're having trouble deciding.

First and foremost, you can't go wrong with a classic salad. Salad is highly customizable. You can make a simple house salad, or go all-out and try something fancy. Plus, salad will give your family a healthy dose of vegetables. Vegetables are critical for a balanced diet, so eating them daily is a must.

Bread is also another great option. You can buy a warm loaf from the store to enjoy, make your own, or just use sandwich bread if you're really strapped for an idea. You need to throw some butter on there, of course! The best part is that you can dip the bread in the sauce!

Biscuits are a good alternative if you're not interested in bread. Or, try some garlic bread or garlic knots. You can find frozen garlic bread to throw in the oven, or you can try your hand at making your own. There are few things better in life than fresh, warm garlic bread!
