  What dessert should I serve with lasagne? Making beef lasagne, green salad and garlic bread. Stuck at the dessert, don't want something too rich and heavy.

  i alwys buy dessert because life's complicated enough with the main course! I would buy a light apple tart and serve it with a choice of cream or icecream. Simple, but the sugar should be a happy contrast to the lasagne.

  Sorbet, or something with fruit like this:
  

  INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 (5 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • fresh mint leaves for garnish

  DIRECTIONS

  1. In a bowl, mix the frozen whipped toping and sweetened condensed milk. Gently fold in 1 3/4 cup blueberries, 1 3/4 cup strawberries, and 1 3/4 cup raspberries. Top with remaining blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries. Garnish with mint, and chill until ready to serve.

  I'd go with something prepared with puff pastry. The simplicity will contrast with the complex flavors of the lasagna.

  but then again, I'm just a fat kid.

  A scoop of sorbet in a champagne flute, a bit of sliced, inseason fruit, pour asti supmanti over, serve. This is a light dessert for something like lasagna, and quite elegant.

  You've made me hungry, sitting here at work and there's nothing nice to eat!
