What do you have with lasagne?

[TheLadyIsAVamp]

Cooking for friends this week and am planning to make a lasagne. I was just going to serve it with a salad and garlic bread, not sure what type but should I add anything else? I always worry when I'm feeding other people but I'm probably overthinking it. What do you have with lasagne?

Two salads, maybe a tomato and red onion salad and a green salad.

served after the lasagne.

The French serve salad after the main course.

I always eat the pasta first, then have salad. Pasta sauce not good with crispy salad

Why would you warm a plate for lasagne?

i have mine with whatever salad leaves, tomatoes, cucumber and spring onions, with a side of coleslaw, mmmmm always the coleslaw.

I have a slice of garlic ciabatta with mine yum!

I'm really not an under-eater (quite the opposite) but I never understand having chips with lasagne. It already has carbs, and chips just don't go with it! I'd happily have it with salad, that's all it needs. For a dinner party, I'd serve it with some fancy breads too (not garlic bread) because I'd rather give guests too much food than just enough!

I don't warm plates.

Green vegetables of some description, stir fried with chilli and lemon. Cuts through the richness of the lasagna.

Same here. Most definitely not an under eater but have never got it. Probably doesn't help that I don't much like chips.
Salad and garlic bread definitely.

Salad and garlic bread and some coleslaw

Never warmed a plate in my life! I didn't know that was a thing outside posh restaurants.

I'd do garlic bread or foccacia and a goats cheese salad. I've never understood eating chips with lasagna. It's pasta. You don't need chips with it.

Because it is hot food and I like to eat slowly and have hot food at the end as well as the start of the meal.

I always warm plates for hot meals... I mistakenly thought it was a thing😯

Green salad and garlic bread, no other stuff is required imo.

Never chips with lasagne as too many carbs and just not good. Garlic bread is much nicer and easier.

Garlic bread and salad

Usually tenderstem broccoli or a green salad. If I had people round I’d add some really nice garlicky or cheesy bread. I love chips but outside of school dinners and 90s pub food I’ve never had them with lasagna.

Chips.

But I don't get it very often and gluten free is usually not the nicest.

One of the first times I had dinner with the in-laws, it was lasagne with garlic bread and baked potatoes...

Red wine

I love the idea of chips with it! But salad seems the normal thing. And maybe get some flatbread and do your own garlic and herb bread.
As long as they like pasta that would be a fine meal.

Usually just salad. The double carb helping with chips makes me feel guilty. I do love them together though.

Ask them!

Some people prefer garlic bread, some salad and other chips. Asking the question will remove all the uncertainty.

What is bread if not a carbohydrate?

🤔

I just have the lasagne - it has onion carrot celery pepper mushroom and tomato so I don't reckon it needs any more veg, and plenty of carbohydrate as it is.

Though having said that, that's possibly why I wouldn't have it as my first choice to put in front of guests

MiL is unable to serve lasagne without doing some carrots or peas as well (she's very much the meat+2veg generation).

Indeed. But several people have posted appearing to think differently...

Salad.
Although if we have guests I do serve garlic bread and if they are unexpected guests then chips as well to make it go further.

I always regret eating garlic bread though.
