🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free needs, use a plant-based butter and a vegan hard-style cheese in place of the dairy toppings. To avoid tree nuts, skip the almonds and add extra breadcrumbs for crunch; gluten-free pasta and crumbs can help for wheat-free diets.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or roasted broccoli to balance the spicy, rich flavors. A chilled white wine or sparkling water with lemon also works well alongside this pasta.
