🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free needs, swap the mozzarella and Parmesan for a plant-based melting cheese and a savory vegan hard cheese. For gluten-free diets, use gluten-free rigatoni and a gluten-free crumb topping; if avoiding alliums, leave out the onion and garlic and add extra basil.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or lemony greens to balance the rich pasta, plus warm crusty bread if you want something extra to soak up the sauce. A simple tomato salad or marinated olives also work well alongside the basil and roasted vegetable flavors.
