Swaps and substitutions

For dairy-free needs, swap in plant-based cheese and cream-style alternatives where the recipe uses cheese and creamy elements. To avoid eggs, wheat, or tree nuts, choose an egg-free bread, use gluten-free pasta or crumbs, and skip the walnut topping.

What to serve with it

Serve the mac ’n’ cheese with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables to balance the richness, and add garlic toast for a more filling family-style plate. For a lighter spread, pair it with sliced tomatoes and a simple fruit salad.
