🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free plate, use a creamy plant-based sauce and skip the cheese, then finish with extra lemon and basil for brightness. For gluten-free needs, swap in gluten-free pasta; for a lighter poultry option, use turkey strips or another lean chicken-style protein.
What to serve with it
Serve with a simple green salad, roasted asparagus, or steamed broccoli to add freshness and balance the creamy citrus sauce. Garlic bread or warm crusty bread also works well for soaking up any extra sauce.
