“In the hustle and bustle of preparing dinner, often it’s not until we are setting the table that we realise we don’t have a side dish to accompany our main course,” Brooke Draper, brand director for Easy Sides, said.

ConAgra has developed five dishes, including fettuccini pasta in a savoury chicken flavored sauce and pasta shells in a butter and cheese flavoured sauce, at a retail price of US$1.25-1.69.
