What goes with borscht for dinner?

In Russia and Eastern Europe, hot borscht was (and still is) served with small pastries, pirogi or piroshki, that are stuffed with vegetables, minced meat or cheese. The traditional accompaniment is a dollop of sour cream, though Jews who do not mix meat and dairy avoid the cream if the soup includes meat.

I think it ultimately comes down to the size of your pasta: If you are serving a small portion of it, amuse/canape-sized, then it will come first. Otherwise, it goes after your soup.
