🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
Use a gluten-free penne and gluten-free crumbs to replace the wheat-based pasta and topping. For dairy-free needs, swap in plant-based cream, butter, and cheese alternatives; skip the nuts or use seeds if tree nuts are an issue.
What to serve with it
Serve with a simple green salad or roasted broccoli to balance the creamy, spicy pasta. Garlic bread or warm crusty rolls work well if you want an extra hearty plate.
