🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a dairy-free version, swap the mozzarella and cream cheese for plant-based alternatives that melt well. To avoid wheat, use gluten-free pasta and gluten-free crumbs in place of the panko, while keeping the rest of the dish as is.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad, garlicky broccolini, or roasted zucchini to balance the rich, cheesy bake. Warm crusty bread also works well if you want something simple for scooping up the sauce.
