🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, swap the fresh mozzarella and butter for plant-based alternatives with a mild flavor. To make it gluten-free, use a gluten-free pasta instead of the wheat-based shape while keeping the chicken, tomato, basil, and lemon.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, garlic bread, or roasted vegetables to round out the warm pasta salad. A chilled white wine or sparkling water with lemon also suits the basil and citrus notes.
