🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a gluten-free version, swap the cavatappi for a gluten-free pasta and use a gluten-free stock concentrate if needed. To avoid dairy, skip the Parmesan, sour cream, and Monterey Jack, or use plant-based alternatives for each.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or simple garlicky bread to round out the rich sauce and pasta. Roasted broccoli or green beans also add freshness and balance the hearty, spicy flavors.
