Swaps and substitutions

For dairy-free needs, swap the cheeses and cream cheese for plant-based versions that melt well. To avoid wheat, use gluten-free pasta and gluten-free crumbs, and keep the dish mild by reducing or skipping the hot sauce and jalapeño.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables to add freshness and balance the creamy, spicy pasta. Warm tortillas or garlic bread also work well if you want an extra hearty meal.
