Swaps and substitutions

For a lighter version, swap the beef for turkey or lentils and use part-skim cheese if desired. To avoid dairy, choose plant-based ricotta and mozzarella; for gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta.

What to serve with it

Serve it with a crisp green salad, garlicky broccoli, or simple roasted green beans to balance the rich bake. Warm bread works well too, especially if you want something to catch the extra sauce.
