🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free, use a creamy plant-based alternative in place of the cheese-and-cream element, and skip the cheese garnish if needed. For gluten-free, swap the pasta for a gluten-free shape that holds sauce well; for vegetarian, replace the chicken with hearty mushrooms or tofu.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or garlicky broccoli to balance the creamy, spicy sauce. Warm bread is also great for catching any extra sauce and making the meal feel more complete.
