🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, swap the cheese and pesto for vegan versions or a nut-free herb sauce if needed. For gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta and breadcrumbs, and choose a pesto made without wheat or cheese if you also avoid milk.
What to serve with it
Serve it with a crisp green salad, garlicky broccoli, or roasted asparagus to balance the rich, cheesy finish. A lemony white wine or sparkling water with herbs also pairs nicely and keeps the plate feeling bright.
