🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, skip the Parmesan and use a dairy-free creamy sauce, plus extra lemon and herbs for flavor. For gluten-free, swap the penne for a gluten-free pasta, and keep the rest of the dish as is if chicken is fine.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, roasted asparagus, or garlicky bread to round out the lemony pasta. A chilled white wine or sparkling water with lemon also suits the bright, creamy flavors.
