Pasta – Cooking Chops

The best dessert after lasagna is widely open for debate. You may try out one or two mixes until you find something you – and your family – cherish. Well, it shouldn’t be a hard time finding a good pairing, as it mostly boils down to individual taste, your kitchen prowess, and how much time you can spare for a side-kick. That said, here are some nice dessert options for a more memorable dinner. What Dessert to Serve After Lasagna? You want to make a dessert that pairs nicely with your pasta. Having a carefully selected one will make a huge difference with your meal. Instead of a dessert that you could serve with just about anything. These desserts do really match and compliment your lasagna. Here are 8 ideas I would recommend trying. 1. Tomato, Red Onion, Dill and Feta Salad A simple salad may make a healthy pair with your tasty lasagna. Whipping up a couple of pastry samples will make a good after-lasagna salad. Slice some dill, red onion, tomatoes, and cheese; then, mix. This combo is a nice one for summer and helps balance those ‘heavy’ pasta. Ensure the red onion stays in cold water for some minutes to remove the strong acidic flavor. Besides, you may also toss in some freshly ground pepper when it’s all set. 2. Arugula Salad Here’s another salad option to consider after your lasagna. Notably, this salad is filled with greens. The leafy vegetables can be anything from asparagus, lettuce, kale, and artichokes. However, in this case, we are recommending arugula. To prepare this, mix your arugula (about five cups) with shaved [not grated] parmesan cheese (two ounces). The salad is pretty easy to dress – you’d need just two tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and the same quantity of olive oil. Round it up with fresh ground black pepper and a pinch of kosher salt. 3. Antipasto Platter As with salad, the antipasto platter makes a great dessert after lasagna. Interestingly, this option is easy to make. All it entails is putting in some of your best foods in a bowl. These foods may include cheeses, meats, vegetables, and fruits – it’s all up to your taste. Since you can tweak and personalize what goes in, the options are almost endless. You can easily make several variations at each diner without dropping a sweat. 4. Garlic Prosciutto Brussels Sprouts If you’re not a big fan of antipasto platter and salads, but still seek a way to meet up with your required vegetable consumption, roasting may be ideal. Talking culinary, it is thought that thorough roasting adds come charred flavor to your dish, one that may hardly be gotten from other cooking methods. Roasting can transform your veggies into some great flavor bombs that’d blend will with your lasagna. This is also an excellent way to influence the opinions of those who detest vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, and asparagus. Garlic prosciutto Brussels sprouts’ preparation is no rocket science. Besides, the ingredients are few and common. To prepare, first, pre-heat oven to 400 ° F. Put a skillet over medium heat and add melted butter. For a good crisp, add in some prosciutto. You can substitute prosciutto for bacon, based on availability. Set Aside The Mix for Now. Add more butter and slice in two garlic cloves. Wait for the garlic to cook and season with pepper and salt. Now, add your Brussels sprouts, throw in your oven, and allow to roast for about 8 minutes. 5. Garlic Roasted Tomatoes If you can find cherry tomatoes, roasting them is another good after-lasagna option. To prepare, pre-heat your oven up to 300 Ω F. Then, coat the cherry tomatoes with salt, olive oil, Italian seasoning, pepper, and well-chopped garlic. After applying the ingredients, move the contents in your bowl to a baking sheet. Allow the tomatoes to roast in your oven for about an hour, to have them soften and fragrant. You may store in an airtight container and top it with olive oil. 6. Honey Roasted Carrots Besides garlic, there are several other flavors to spice up your vegetables; honey-roasted carrots are an example. To prepare, pre-heat your oven to 300 Ω F. Then, add peeled small carrots (about 2 pounds) and sunflower oil (three tablespoons), pepper, and salt in a baking sheet or roasting pan. Allow the carrot roast for about 30 minutes. Coat each with two tablespoons of honey and white wine vinegar. Then, put back in your oven for 20 minutes more. 7. Fried Chicken Wings Here’s another simple option. To prepare, add generous pinches of pepper and salt, ½ teaspoon of mustard powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper into 2 cups of flour Pour two inches of vegetable oil in a pan and heat at 350 ° F. Fry the wings in batches to ensure they are well cooked and to avoid sticking together. Leave for about 8 minutes, until they look well cooked and crispy. When done, put the wings on a plate or tray lined with a paper towel to help remove excess oil. These wings are best served warm and with sauces such as honey mustard. 8. A Wrap These are but a few of the deserts you can have after your lasagna. For an unforgettable dinner, you may whip up a couple of these options - hopefully, your guest enjoys one of them. But the last time we checked, they were all crowd-pleasers.
