When you've decided that lasagna is on the menu for dinner, the next thing you'll have to decide is what you'll serve alongside it. From breads to salads to veggies, there are plenty of side dishes that pair well with a pan of homemade lasagna. Plus, you have plenty of time to focus on the side dishes as the main dish cooks.
Skip the bagged salad mixes, frozen breads, and boring sides, and whip up a couple of these delicious side dishes while your lasagna bakes.
