With lasagne I would serve…

[maldivemoment]

Family over later. I’ve made a lasagne which I’m sure is big enough but I’m a feeder & like to know everyone has been well fed so now I’m not so sure there’s enough of it!
Any suggestions as to what else I can put on the table so everyone leaves feeling full? I’ve got the usual salad and garlic bread.

Thank you

I'd leave the salad in the fridge and serve it with broccoli or sweetheart cabbage.

Salad. Tenderstem brocolli and peas maybe but I’d just serve salad.

Garlic bread, coleslaw and a green or Greek salad. Maybe buttered new potatoes if feeding a really hungry hoard.

What? 😱

All I want is lasagne now.

Haha is this the longest food thread ever.I love how much we all love lasagne.
I’d say wedges
curly fries
garlic bread
french baguette and butter
Roast butternut squash with a crumbly mix of olives red onion and pine nuts and feta over the top

Roasted peppers
half baked mushrooms

breaded mozzarella sticks

I do garlic bread if we have guests, but if it is just us I just do salad. I find lasagne filling enough on its own or maybe I just serve bigger portions

I’d have roast Mediterranean vegetables with it along with the garlic bread and salad. Or perhaps google another Italian vegetable dish and go with that instead.

My kind is boggling at all the people eating potatoes with lasagne.

Salad, yes. Red wine, yes. Garlic bread if you must.

5 pages! 😆👌🏻

I’m going for GB, salad, wedges and the lovely cannellini beans thing that was suggested at the start.

thanks all. Hugely enjoyable reading folks preferences!

No thank you op. Love a good food discussion thread☺️

Yea same!! Pasta is a full meal! I can’t imagine having ragu/carbonara/amatricana with peas carrots and potatoes. Do these same people have curry with rice and chips (another thing I find mind boggling). I guess the British just love their chips!!

Rice
Wedges

Chips with bolognaise? Hell yeah, with cheese grated on top and a whole French stick of garlic bread mmmmm

Lasagne and rice???

I'm done 😂😂

Nothing else. An Italian would never serve it with salad either.

Just as an aside, I dont understand how people eat/serve salad with hot foods. Particularly winter type stodgy foods.

Doesnt go.

In Italy you’d eat the lasagne and then eat the salad. So in the same meal but not on the same plate together.

Oh yes salad definitely on separate plate from the lasagna

Sorry, you’re never going to convince me that pasta and chips is a thing. Same as curry with rice and chips. Maybe I’m just not as into chips as all the chip lovers on here, I only tend to have them with steak, and then only when out.

I love the contrast between the soft hot lasagne and a cold, crisp salad.

It's 8 hours since I read that people actually serve peas and jacket potatoes with lasagne and I'm still feeling raw and traumatised.

I love salad with hot foods. It's that contrast between hot and cold and soft and crunchy!

Same. Lasagne and salad is enough.

I always make enough lasagne so that there is some left for the freezer, so anyone who wants second helpings can have them. Lasagne is a rich, filling meal.
