🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, swap the cream cheese, sour cream, and parmesan for plant-based alternatives, keeping the same creamy profile. Use gluten-free rigatoni if needed, and skip the chicken for a vegetarian plate by adding extra vegetables or legumes.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or garlicky broccoli to balance the creamy pasta and add freshness. Warm crusty bread also works well for soaking up the sauce and making the meal feel more complete.
