Swaps and substitutions

For gluten-free, use your favorite gluten-free pasta and skip the flour-thickened element only if needed for your version. For dairy-free, swap the cheeses, cream cheese, and crema for plant-based alternatives; for milder heat, choose a gentler hot sauce.

What to serve with it

Serve it with a crisp green salad, charred corn, or simple black beans to balance the rich, cheesy pasta. A tangy salsa and extra tortilla chips on the side add crunch and a brighter, snacky contrast.
