Swaps and substitutions

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free pasta and crumbs in place of the wheat-based pasta and topping. To reduce dairy, choose dairy-free cream, cream cheese, and shreddable cheese alternatives that melt well; for beef-free, use a plant-based crumble.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad or steamed broccoli to balance the rich pasta and add freshness. Garlic bread or roasted vegetables also work well if you want a more filling, comfort-food spread.
