What to Serve with Meatballs instead of Pasta

From meatball subs to Italian meatballs coated in tomato sauce, everyone loves meatballs!

Ground beef blended with simple ingredients creates a canvas for almost any flavor profile. You can create a savory sauce or a sweet sauce that bathes each meatball!

Homemade meatballs are a family favorite, especially when they’re paired with crusty bread, spaghetti, or even egg noodles.

However, sometimes, you just don’t want pasta. (Heck! I am not a fan of pasta, and I say it loud and proud!)

The best side dishes to accompany any kind of meatball are a great way to enjoy your delicious meatballs with a different way of traditionally serving them!

Be sure to pick up copious amounts of french baguettes to soak up all the spaghetti sauce, marinara sauce, or other saucy meatballs on the menu.
