If you want this to be even creamier, but don\u2019t want to use heavy cream (I avoid buying it because I never use it up before it expires).\u00a0If you use non-dairy milk such as almond milk<\/strong>, I suggest adding a teaspoon or two of onion powder or garlic powder to offset any sweet taste from the milk.<\/p>\n You can use olive oil\u00a0<\/strong>instead of butter if needed, or use plant-based butter or even coconut oil. It\u2019s up to you. <\/p>\n Need to be gluten-free?<\/strong> Go ahead and use gluten-free pasta instead. We really like chickpea-based pasta with this dish because it seems to work well with the Italian-leaning flavors we\u2019ve got going on here. <\/p>\n The only non-negotiable? <\/strong>That can of crushed tomatoes makes this whole dish possible! You can, however, opt for fire roasted or seasoned ones vs. unseasoned if you like. But tomatoes are key here. <\/p>\n Related: Discover New Meal Prep Ideas: Our Basic Formula For Delicious Recipes<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n This meal lasts in the fridge for up to 4 days and is freezer friendly for up to 3 months.
