🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based cream sauce and dairy-free topping if needed, then keep the lemon for brightness. To avoid wheat, choose gluten-free pasta and a gluten-free crumb coating; for beef-free, swap in browned turkey, chicken, or a hearty plant protein.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, roasted broccoli, or garlicky green beans to balance the rich, lemony sauce. Warm crusty bread or extra lemon wedges on the side also works well for a fuller, brighter plate.
