What are some good sides to serve with lasagna?!
I am organizing a Valentine's Day dinner at my church and I need help with the menu!. We are going to serve a garden salad first, then rolls/garlic bread and lasagna, and cake w/ icecream for dessert!. Is that enough!? I feel like we might need something to serve along side the lasagna!. Since we are having a salad, that covers the veggie!. Would something else be good with the main course!? Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think that you have plenty of food! Sounds perfect!. I think if you added something else it might be too much!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Unless you have a lot of vegetables in the lasagna, the salad won't be an adequate serving of vegetables if you're going by current dietary guidelines which recommend 8 to 9 fruit/vegetable servings per day!. I'd add a side of escarole sauteed with garlic, some crushed red pepper and a bit of olive oil (a VERY italian dish) to be served with the lasagna after the salad first course!.
The pasta in the lasagna is enough carbs so personally, I wouldn't serve bread!.
I'd keep the either cake or the ice cream, not both, and top with a fresh fruit sauce (like blueberries or strawberries) to get in one more serving of fruit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegetables are a good side!. Try zucchini and spinach that's good together!. You can also try an appetizer something simple yet fulfilling!. You would saute the spinach in black pepper and lemon with a half glove of garlic for about 15 min!. The zucchini you'd saute until the peel is softened!. Inexpensive and delicious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Salad was always the side for me!. Lasagna has everything in it so its hard to have something on the side sounds like you have plenty I always serve salad and bread sticks with mine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Your Menu is plenty!. The only thing I might suggest is that you might want to have some spaghetti that is separate for folks that might have cheese or dairy issues!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Your menu seems thorough!. What you have listed seems to cover all bases!. I would have suggested garlic bread, but you already had that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You may want to think about making a vegetable lasagna with a white sauce base as well as a traditional marinara lasagna, some folks have problems with tomatoes!
otherwise sounds awesome!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Maybe something easy like cheese cubes with the fancy toothpicks or minced meat cut in little circles!. If I were eating that meal I might want something crunchy to go along with it!.
