🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a lighter dairy-free version, use a plant-based cream cheese and omit or replace the Monterey Jack with a vegan melt that suits your needs. For gluten-free dining, swap the penne for a gluten-free pasta, and for a milder dish, use less hot sauce and a gentler seasoning blend.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or simple roasted vegetables to balance the richness and spice. Warm garlic bread or a light tomato side also works well, especially if you want extra comfort on the table.
