    Lasagna is an Italian dish that consists of a flat sheet of pasta layered with sauce and cheese, typically baked in the oven. It usually takes up to two hours to bake, so what to serve with lasagna? The answer depends on what time of day it is and what type of cuisine you're serving.

    Lasagna is traditionally made with layers of pasta. Did you know you can use vegetables instead? Popular options are eggplant and zucchini. What we love to do in our family is combine the 2 and make a delicious eggplant zucchini lasagna.

    Lasagna is the ultimate comfort food. Our family loves it and makes it often. It is also a great dish to make when serving a crowd. Some people serve lasagna the meal itself or serve it with something like a simple garden salad. Garlic bread is another popular option.

    Sides help to balance out the meal by adding a contrast of flavors. The best part of what to serve with lasagna is that you can really let your imagination run wild! It's all about what tastes good together and what complements the flavors already in your dish.

    WHAT TO SERVE WITH LASAGNA:

    There are endless possibilities of what to serve with lasagna. It just depends on what you're in the mood for and what type of cuisine you want to serve. So get creative and have some fun with it!
