⚠️Allergens:
🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free needs, use a plant-based cream sauce and sour cream, and skip the parmesan or swap in a vegan topping. For gluten-free, choose gluten-free pasta and breadcrumbs; the dish is otherwise naturally vegetable-forward.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, garlicky roasted broccoli, or simple tomatoes to balance the creamy pasta. A glass of chilled white wine or sparkling water with lemon also works well for a lighter, fresher meal.
