🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based cream cheese and a savory non-dairy cheese alternative, then finish with extra lemon for brightness. To avoid wheat, swap the pasta for gluten-free cavatappi or another short gluten-free shape.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or steamed broccoli to balance the rich, cheesy pasta. Garlic bread or roasted cherry tomatoes also work well if you want a more filling, comfort-food style meal.
