Lasagna is a comfort food classic—but let’s be honest, the sides are what turn it into a full-on feast. From garlic bread to fresh salads and cozy soups, these recipes are the perfect way to round out your lasagna dinner.
Lasagna is already a showstopper, so the sides don’t need to be complicated—just tasty and balanced. Want to keep it classic? You can’t go wrong with garlic bread or soft, buttery rolls. Craving something fresh? Toss together a quick Caesar salad or slice up some tomatoes and mozzarella for a Caprese. If you’re feeling cozy, add a warm bowl of soup like minestrone or tomato basil. Hosting friends or family? Stuffed mushrooms or a cheese board make it feel a little extra without much effort. Pick a couple that sound good and call it a night!
If you’re not a big fan of beef you should try this Chicken Lasagna! There are so many different ways to make lasagna, like my Slow Cooker Lasagna, Lasagna Dip, White Spinach and Artichoke Lasagna, speedy Skillet Lasagna, fancy Lasagna Cups, or my super easy Lasagna Soup. Can you tell I LOVE lasagna!?

So there you have it, my favorite sides to serve with lasagna. You can stick with the classics or try something a little more adventurous. Either way, these recipes are a great way to take your lasagna night up a notch. Good food is always better with good company, and these side dishes make pretty tasty companions.
How do I plan sides for a lasagna dinner party?
Keep it simple with 1–2 sides that balance the meal. A fresh salad and warm bread usually do the trick. Add a dip or appetizer if you’re serving guests and want something to snack on before the main course.
Can I make side dishes ahead of time for lasagna night?
Definitely. Salads, dips, and most breads can be prepped a few hours ahead. Reheat breads just before serving to keep them warm and fresh.
What’s a good side for vegetarian lasagna?
Try pairing it with something hearty but still fresh, like roasted vegetables or a grain-based salad. A creamy soup or cheesy bread can also add that comfort food feel without any meat.
If you make these recipes, I would really appreciate it if you would give them a star rating and leave your review in the comments! If you have a picture of your finished dish, post it on Instagram using the hashtag #laurenslatest and tagging me @laurens_latest.
