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?

Really? Do you eat really fast before the food is cold? I like everything super hot and a hot plate keeps it that way.

Oh thank you!! I have that damn song stuck in my head now. 😂😂😂

Salad when it's just for us, with guests I'd do garlic bread too

Same.

Although, tonight we had roasted broccoli with it.

Lasagne doesn't need hot plates as surely you want to leave it to cool down a bit in the pan first before you serve it?

I also vote for mixed salad, vinaigrette and extra lasagne. It doesn't need anything else.

A bin bag.. lasagne..bleurgh.

Salad, cucumber and garlic bread. My children like a buttered corn on the cob on the side as well.

And I love salad cream all over mine 🙈

@Zerro these days I'm up/down sorting the toddler out so definitely not.

Salad cream on lasagne?

That's a crime against god and man.

I don't "plate up" because that means dictating what and how much each individual eats - ovenware goes on the table where possible, or into serving dishes for everyone to serve themselves.

I don't warm plates because I don't see any point - my family are always blowing on food to cool it anyway so it's clearly hot and because I have a standard oven - I don't have a separate "top oven" (do people usually have those these days?).

We always have separate side dishes for salad (regardless of what it's served with) although perhaps this is a non UK custom, I'm not sure. It's definitely better anyway - dressed salad always works better in a separate bowl.

We all eat biggish portions of lasagne rather than a random potato dish with it.

Try it, you won't regret it!

I would have garlic bread and salad, my DH has to have chips.

Like tenderstem brocolli with ours.

Salad. May add garlic bread if you like but I generally just have a nice salad with lots of different veg.

I was out for dinner last night and my friend had carbonara. The restaurant serves it with garlic bread.

I'd go salad and/or chips/garlic bread.

Chips and D's has salad and garlic bread.

🤣🤣

Salad, just salad anything else is weird especially any mention of potatoes

I made a lasagne tonight with tenderstem brocolli and garlic bread made using a tortilla wrap - I find baguette/pizza dough garlic bread too heavy but wrap garlic bread is my favourite!

It depends on the lasagne. Until they stopped doing it recently we always used to get the Tesco finest lasagne which was delicious but also mainly sauce and not much pasta so definitely needed something carby with it. If everyone in my family liked garlic bread I would do that but as they don’t it was chips and salad.

Last time one of us had lasagne out somewhere it was much denser and served in a definite slice, there is no way that you would be wanting an extra carb alongside that!

It's a bit sloppy and textureless if served alone.
