Serving Suggestions
While this recipe can be used completely on its own without any side dishes, here are a few suggestions if you want to add something more:
- Salad - A spring mix that is already washed and ready to eat is great! Or, here is one of my favorites - Feta with Toasted Pecans and Raisins
- If you want to learn to make your own salad dressings be sure to check out How to Make Salad Dressing. Other delicious dressing recipes to try are Green Goddess Dressing Recipe, Best Ever Homemade Ranch Dressing and Raisin Vinaigrette
- Bread - Of course, French bread is always a hit with spaghetti but, why not try sourdough bread or even Carrot Muffins.
