🥛Milk🦐Shellfish🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a seafood-free version, swap the shrimp for sautéed mushrooms or chickpeas. To avoid dairy, use a dairy-free pesto and skip the cream cheese and Parmesan; for nut-free needs, replace the walnuts with extra breadcrumbs or toasted seeds.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or simple roasted vegetables to round out the rich pasta and add freshness. Garlic bread or warm crusty bread also works well for soaking up the pesto and tomato juices.
