Swaps and substitutions

For a dairy-free version, use plant-based cheese and cream alternatives, though the flavor will be milder. To avoid wheat, choose gluten-free pasta and breadcrumb alternatives; the spinach and tomato can stay as they are.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad or steamed broccoli to add freshness and balance the rich, cheesy pasta. Garlic bread or a simple roasted vegetable side also works well for a fuller family meal.
