From the 737 FCTM:

If normal pitch control​ inputs do not stop​ an​ increasing pitch​ rate, rolling​ the ​
airplane to​ a bank​ angle that​ starts the nose down should work. Bank​ angles of ​
about 45°, up​ to a maximum​ of 60°, could​ be needed. Unloading the wing by​ ​
maintaining​ continuous nose-down elevator​ pressure keeps the wing angle of ​
attack as low as possible, making the normal roll controls as effective as possible. ​
With airspeed as​ low as​ stick shaker onset, normal​ roll​ controls - up to​ full ​
deflection of ailerons and spoilers - may be used. The rolling maneuver changes ​
the pitch rate into a turning maneuver, allowing the pitch to decrease. Finally, if ​
normal​ pitch​ control then​ roll​ control is ineffective, careful​ rudder input in the ​
direction of the desired roll may be required to​ induce a rolling maneuver for ​
recovery.​
Only a small amount of rudder is needed. Too much rudder applied too quickly or ​
held too long may result in loss of lateral and directional control. Because of the ​
low​ energy​ condition, pilots should exercise caution​ when applying​ rudder.​
The reduced pitch attitude allows airspeed​ to increase, thereby​ improving elevator ​
and aileron control effectiveness. After the pitch attitude and airspeed return​ to​ a ​
desired range the pilot can reduce angle of bank with normal​ lateral flight​ controls ​
and return​ the airplane to normal flight.
