🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free penne and swap the breadcrumbs for a gluten-free crumb. If you avoid mustard, leave out the Dijon and add a little extra basil or garlic for flavor; use turkey if chicken is not preferred.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or steamed broccoli to add freshness alongside the pasta. Warm garlic bread or roasted vegetables also round out the meal nicely and help balance the tomato-rich sauce.
