Good accompaniment to lasagna?!
Good accompaniment to lasagna?
Hi All,
I'm having a dinner at home soon and I plan on doing a 4-cheese spinach lasagna. I'm not sure what else to offer - there will be some fish and maybe chicken or beef..should I offer anything else for the main course? I could do vegetables or a light rice...
There will be hors d'oeuvres, bread and salad, the main course, then desert.
Answers:
If you're serving hors d'oeuvres bread and salad before the lasagna I don't think you need anything else.
If you want to serve it with some parm chicken it would be nice but fish is not a good option. Beef wouldn't be my choice either. Definitely not rice cause you're already serving pasta .
Vegetables would be too green cause you're serving salad and you have spinach in the lasagna.
So if you really want to serve the lasagna with a meat go with the chicken. You can do chicken parm or lemon chicken or something like that.
good luck.
I say do either meatballs or italian parmesan chicken. Forget the fish. That doesn't really go with italian.
Do some kind of grarlic or herb with with it. Or a salad of some sort. Yum good luck!!
caesar salad or a nice tomato/mozarela/basil salad
garlic bread with pesto smeared over it, salad w/balsamic vinagrette
With the lasanga have a light salad with oil and vinegar dressing and a loaf of special bread.
If you are doing chicken/fish/beef, always go with fresh green beans. You can cut off the ends and boil them and add a special sauce, it would be fabulous!
The main courses sound good! Do a simple meat though, because your lasanga has many flavors.
Light rice would be good with the meats, but not the lasanga because it already has pasta in it....it will make your guests too full and bloated.
Have fun!
Well this is what i would serve!!!
lasagna
grilled chicken bits marinated in garlic
n some rocket leaves for garnish
Lasagna IS the main course. It is awful heavy to serve anything else with it other than maybe a nice baby greens salad & garlic bread or cheese toast.
