🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, swap the ricotta for a plain plant-based soft cheese or cashew-based spread. If you need a nut-free option, leave out the hazelnuts and add toasted seeds instead; for gluten-free, use a GF spaghetti.
What to serve with it
A crisp green salad, roasted asparagus, or garlicky broccoli would balance the sweet earthiness and add freshness. Warm crusty bread works well too, especially if you want something simple to round out the pasta.
