lasagna with a side of ______ ?
I made lasagna last night for company tonight and I want to serve a side with it but I just don't know what. I'm going to have salad but I don't want to have bread since pasta is already carb-loaded enough. Any suggestions?
I probably don't need anything but I'm still looking for ideas of what to serve with pasta cause I always draw a blank!

Re: lasagna with a side of ______ ?
I agree completely, this is how we usually do lasagna as well.
Ditto salad and bread. Adding bread is carb-heavy, but what goes better with Italian food than garlic bread?!

My MIL insists on having a veggie with every meal. I feel like lasagana is one of those where it just doesn't work. A salad is fine.

I normally do salad and garlic bread.

What about a caprese salad? Big chunks of tomato or grape tomatoes with mozzarella, basil and balsamic? I love adding that to a meal since it's not too heavy but it's a significant enough side dish.
But like other people said, you can't beat garlic bread with lasagna!

Ditto to a salad and garlic bread. To me, lasagna's already sort of its own mush of goodness - adding a cooked vegetable next to it on the plate just seems weird. ETA: Though if you really wanted a separate veggie I'd suggest something like asparagus that has a little crunch to it.

This sounds yummy!! I vote for this - not too heavy.
If you want something a bit different for a salad I would recommend a roasted veggie salad.
The other day I served roasted Brussels sprouts, asparagus and broccoli with some good shaved Parmesan, some fresh basil leaves, a drizzle of truffle oil and some fleur de sel. It was a really yummy side dish for the Bolognese I had made.
I agree with pp about also have some bread. People don't have to take it if they don't want to, but I can't imagine having lasagna with out some sort of good bread.
