Swaps and substitutions

For a vegetarian plate, leave out the bacon and add extra broccoli, tomato, or another savory topping. For dairy-free or gluten-free needs, use plant-based cheese and cream alternatives, plus gluten-free pasta and breadcrumbs; check the seasoning for sesame.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables to balance the rich, cheesy pasta. Fresh fruit, pickles, or a simple slaw also work well on the side and keep the build-your-own feel casual and fun.
