🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a gluten-free version, swap the orzo and breadcrumbs for gluten-free pasta and a gluten-free crumb topping. For dairy-free needs, skip the Parmesan and cheese blend or use plant-based alternatives; turkey sausage can replace chicken sausage if preferred.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, roasted broccoli, or garlicky green beans to balance the rich tomato and sausage flavors. A slice of crusty bread or a simple antipasto plate works well if you want a more filling meal.
