🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a lighter option, use lean turkey or chicken in place of the beef, and choose part-skim ricotta and mozzarella. To avoid wheat or gluten, swap the pasta for a gluten-free penne; for dairy-free, use plant-based ricotta and mozzarella alternatives.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, garlic bread, or roasted broccoli to balance the rich, hearty flavors. A simple tomato-and-herb side or a light vinaigrette works well with the cheesy, saucy pasta.
