What to Serve with Pasta

There are so many easy side dishes to serve with spaghetti with homemade spaghetti sauce. I like to stick with a salad and bread most of the time because it is quick and easy. But even on nights when I want to get fancier we always have a bread and a veggie with it and then add in some additional sides.

Check out some of the great sides that make spaghetti a whole meal.

• BLT Salad

How to Freeze Pasta Sauce

To store homemade spaghetti sauce, let the sauce cool completely. Once cooled pour the sauce into gallon sized freezer bags and zip close, squeeze the air out while closing the bag.

Lay the freezer bag filled with sauce flat in the freezer. Sauce will keep in the freezer for upto 6 months.

You can freeze homemade tomato sauce in freezer bags or in glass jars. It all depends on your preference.

Variations of this recipe

While you can easily add meat to homemade sauce you can also add more veggies if you want to. Red peppers, green bell peppers and onions are fantastic addictions to this homemade spaghetti sauce.

If you are wanting to make a meat spaghetti sauce then you have a lot of options for the meat that you put into it. Ground beef, ground turkey, ground pork and ground chicken are my top choices.

You can also add Italian sausage and homemade meatballs. I have used the meatballs that I use in my meatball grinders and also rosemary chicken meatballs in this sauce recipe and they were both delish!
