🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, swap the fresh mozzarella and cream cheese for plant-based alternatives with a mild melt. To avoid wheat, use gluten-free cavatappi and replace the breadcrumb topping with gluten-free crumbs or crushed nuts.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, garlicky broccoli, or roasted zucchini to balance the rich, cheesy pasta. A chilled sparkling water or light red pairs well with the tomato, basil, and gentle heat.
