Swaps and substitutions

For a nut-free version, replace the walnuts with toasted breadcrumbs or extra parmesan for crunch. For dairy-free needs, use a dairy-free pesto and swap the cream cheese and parmesan for plant-based alternatives.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad or garlicky roasted broccoli to balance the rich pesto and pasta. A slice of warm crusty bread or a simple tomato-cucumber salad also works well for extra freshness.
