I served this over Smart Blend Elbow Macaroni but now I think it might have been better over egg noodles. We paired this with a small side salad and a serving of green beans. Don't let the huge amount of garlic put you off. Once it is cooked and then mashed as per instructions it has an amazing flavor and isn't "knock your socks off" like you might think.
