Okay, so I decided to tackle the age-old question: What desserts go best with lasagna? I mean, lasagna is great and all, but you gotta have something sweet to round out that meal, right? So I rolled up my sleeves and got to work.
First, I made a big ol’ pan of lasagna. I’m talking layers of pasta, a mountain of cheese, and that hearty meat sauce. The smell alone was making my mouth water. While it was baking, I started brainstorming dessert ideas. I wanted something that wouldn’t be too heavy after such a rich main course.

I figured, you know, simple is probably best. Veggies are a good go-to with lasagna. I whipped up some sautéed greens—spinach with a little garlic, nothing fancy. And for another option, I roasted a tray of broccoli. Just tossed those florets with some olive oil, salt, and pepper, and popped them in the oven. Easy peasy. But a dessert with veggies, this doesn’t make sense.
So after serving up that delicious lasagna, I pulled out my first dessert experiment: a classic tiramisu. Coffee-soaked ladyfingers, creamy mascarpone, a dusting of cocoa powder… it seemed like a good match, right? And it kinda was! The lightness of the tiramisu was a nice contrast to the heaviness of the lasagna.
Experiment Two
- Lemon Sorbet: I wanted to try something really refreshing. Made a quick lemon sorbet—just lemon juice, sugar, and water, churned in my ice cream maker. It was super tangy and definitely cleansed the palate. A little too tart perhaps, but not bad.
- Fruit Salad with a Twist: Okay, a simple fruit salad is always a safe bet. But I wanted to jazz it up a bit. I mixed a bunch of berries with some chopped-up mint and a drizzle of honey. It was light, refreshing, and the mint added a nice little kick.
And lastly, I went with something a bit unconventional: grilled peaches with a balsamic glaze. I know, I know, it sounds weird, but hear me out. I halved some peaches, grilled them until they got those nice char marks, and then drizzled them with a thick, syrupy balsamic glaze. The sweetness of the peaches and the tanginess of the balsamic were surprisingly good together. And the warm, grilled fruit was a nice change from the usual cold desserts. This is a Richly spiced and slow-smoked dessert, I like it!.
So, after all that eating (it was a tough job, but someone had to do it), I came to a few conclusions. Tiramisu is a solid choice—classic for a reason. The lemon sorbet was refreshing but maybe a bit too intense after the lasagna. The souped-up fruit salad was a winner—light, flavorful, and easy to make. And those grilled peaches? They were a dark horse that actually worked out pretty well.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference. But if you’re looking for some dessert ideas to go with your next lasagna feast, I hope my little experiment gave you some inspiration. Don’t be afraid to try new things and see what works for you. Happy eating!
