In reply to Kari. I would say vegan or dairy-free cream cheese will most likely be the best substitute. However, you can also try using some full-fat coconut milk/cream or pureed silken tofu. For the Parmesan, you could swap it for a pinch of Nutritional Yeast (but use a little less, because a little goes a long way!) ~ Marion :)

I’m dairy free. Do you think I should try vegan cream cheese or maybe hummus instead of regular cream cheese?

I had the same experience. SO much onion! Needs a 1/2 or 1/4 of a whole onion. :)

Hi! So I made this recipe last night for my husband and 10 month old. Everyone loved it and in fact hubby said he couldn’t believe I made it!!
I did change a couple of things.
First I used 1/4 teaspoon of onion and garlic powder instead of the actual (didn’t have any).
Second, I didn’t use chili flakes. Instead I used diced tomatoes with green chiles. Sooooo good!!!
Third, I followed someone else’s comment here to add the pasta right into the pot dry and cook it right in the sauce. So I upped the water from 1/2 cup- 2.5 ish cups, I kept adding more as needed to keep the noodles covered. Yay for less dishes lol
Lastly I used raos rigatoni. Also didn’t add all that Parm it called for, I just added a little on mine right before serving.
And extra spinach.
Amazing amazing amazing!!! Highly recommend you try this!

Loved this dish! Added frozen vegetarian crumbles for added protein (warmed up alongside onion/garlic while they were being sauteed). So yummy and great meal prep option!

My onion to tomato ratio was way off. Unfortunately, it ended up as more of an onion pasta. It still tasted ok but I would cut back next time. I would venture to say only half an onion is needed.

In reply to Monti - Budget Bytes. I used ricotta and pecorino Romano. The spinach was more forward than I expected. It was excellent and easy.
