🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a vegetarian version, swap the beef for browned lentils or a meat-free mince that holds up well in a bake. For dairy-free needs, use plant-based ricotta and mozzarella alternatives, and for gluten-free diets choose gluten-free pasta.
What to serve with it
Serve it with a crisp green salad or garlicky broccoli to add freshness and balance the rich, cheesy bake. Warm crusty bread or a simple tomato-cucumber side also works well for soaking up the savory sauce.
