Swaps and substitutions

For a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free pesto and skip the fresh mozzarella, or swap in a non-dairy cheese alternative. For gluten-free needs, replace the penne with a gluten-free pasta and serve without bread on the side.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad or roasted corn to echo the smoky-sweet notes without adding much effort. Garlic bread or warm flatbread also works well to round out the pasta salad and make the meal feel more filling.
