Just spread some garlic butter on there and toast it in the oven for a few minutes. Or, you can use regular butter or olive oil, and then sprinkle some garlic powder on the bread to make it just as garlic-y as you like. One of the under appreciated sides to go with lasagna that we like are snap peas.
You can cook snap peas in a simple way, searing them in a pan with some butter or zesting them with lemon juice. If you want to make something a bit more complicated and textured, you can add some northern beans and green peas in to make a pea medley. Try roasting them with garlic for a crunchy treat, or you can cook them up in coconut milk and peanut sauce and put them on top of some rice for some Asian flair.
There are so many ways to have snap peas that will go well with your lasagna, and we hope if you have never tried these veggies before that this inspires you to give them a try. For vegetable side dishes to go with lasagna, we recommend steamed broccoli as a common crowd-pleaser.
You may want to try them with garlic as well, and you can give your broccoli extra flavour by cooking it in butter, or just use water to keep it healthy. Another way to try the broccoli is roasted, and you can put it int the oven at the same time as the lasagna and save yourself some effort. You can top your arugula salad with shredded cheese, cucumbers, olives, parmesan cheese, kosher salt, pepper, lemon juice and more to give it a zestier or sweeter flavour.
Here is another way to use that oven when it fired up for the lasagna- put some carrots in there on a pan. Carrots and other veggies are good sides to go with lasagna because they balance all that heart-clogging richness with some healthiness and nutrients. Carrots can be garnished like any veggie- with parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, lemon zest, herbs or whatever else you can think of. You may also want to turn your roasted carrot dish into a vegetable medley, adding in onions, minced garlic, potatoes, or whatever else suits your fancy.
Zucchini is a good choice because it is not as flavourful as some of the other squashes , so it is not overpowering like butternut or summer squash might be. If you are going to cook Italian why not jump in with both feet? Antipasto provides a lot of variety and is easy to make. It also looks fabulous when served with a flourish. We like to use rough serving boards or a wooden Pizza peel.
For a really rustic look feel free to make an untidy board. Roughly arrange piles of cheese, marinated olives and some cooked deli meats on your board. For an extra bit of flair drizzle the lot with olive oil and serve with cocktail sticks so that everyone can pick as they go! Cheese and meat slowly cooked to make a thick and tasty ragout can be quite rich. It is nice to add something sweet that cuts through the richness.
Carrots , when roasted have a certain sweet goodness to them. To enhance this further consider brushing them with a mixture of equal parts honey and white wine vinegar. To make them simply drizzle them with olive oil and salt and pepper and bake in a preheated oven for around 25 minutes.
Remove them from the oven, mix them with your honey and vinegar and bake for a further 25 minutes until the honey goes all sticky and brown. Serve immediately. A pinch of fast action dried yeast, a large pinch of sugar, 3 teaspoons of salt and two ounces of butter. In a mixer or by hand combine all of the ingredients and knead for around 10 minutes until you have a silky-smooth dough.
Roll the dough into a long thin sausage and cut at regular intervals. Place on a tray and bake until they turn a golden-brown colour. Allow to cool on a wire rack. We are back on a green theme now. Although it sounds quite high class, it is one of the easiest dishes on our list to create. Simply heat a skillet over high heat with a little olive oil. Once it is hot, toss in some trimmed broccoli stems. Once the broccoli is bright green and add two cloves of chopped garlic and a large pinch of salt.
An impromptu tray bake is super easy and practically fool proof. If you can turn on your oven and roughly chop a vegetable you can make a tray bake. The key to roasting vegetables is to make sure all of your chunks are of similar size, that way they cook evenly. Some great pairings are zucchini, potatoes and tomatoes. Or for something lighter try red and green bell peppers, red onion and carrots.
The humble Brussel sprout also roasts really well. They take on a dark and crunchy texture that works beautifully with lasagna. To make them slice them as fine as you can, toss with a little olive oil and seasoning and bake for around 20 minutes in a degree oven. For a little extra flair add chopped walnuts and a handful of precooked and crumbled bacon.
When you bake tomatoes, they go soft and super sweet. To avoid soggy bruschetta, allow the salted tomatoes to sit for a few minutes while you toast the bread slices. Roasting leafy broccoli rabe is a fantastic way to balance its bitter flavor, transforming it into a tasty vegetable side for meat or vegetarian pasta bakes.
