🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for chickpeas, tofu, or extra broccoli and keep the herby, spicy profile. For dairy-free needs, use a plant-based sour cream and mozzarella alternative; for gluten-free, choose a gluten-free pasta shape.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or garlicky roasted vegetables to balance the rich pesto pasta. Warm crusty bread works well for scooping up any extra sauce, and a simple lemony side keeps the meal bright.
