🥛Milk🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For dairy-free needs, swap the sour cream, smoky red pepper crema, and cheese for plant-based versions. For gluten-free serving, use gluten-free cavatappi or another sturdy GF pasta; if avoiding turkey, ground chicken or plant-based mince also works.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or roasted corn to round out the smoky Southwest flavors. Warm tortillas, lime wedges, or avocado on the side make it feel heartier without overpowering the pasta.
