Recipe substitutions:
Pasta – any short pasta is fine here, macaroni/elbow, twirls, penne, ziti, orecchiette etc. Broccoli – this dish can take loads of broccoli, and still worth making even if you’re a bit short (or scale recipe down – click on servings and slide). Cheese – any melting cheese fine here, preferably flavoured like cheddar, Monterey Jack, tasty, gruyere, Swiss. Mozzarella also fine but you’ll probably need more salt. Parmesan – store bought pre grated fine in this recipe. OK if you don’t have (as long as you have shredded cheese!) Lemon – not intended to be a full on lemon pasta, but the subtle tang and hint of lemon is terrific. Feel free to jack up the lemon flavour. Subs: 1.5 tbsp more oil or a mild vinegar like white wine vinegar, champagne vinegar, even rice wine. Garlic – could stir through green onions instead, or add 1/2 tsp garlic or onion powder into Sauce. OR finely grate any onion and add 2 tbsp it into dressing (juices and all). Herbs – mixed herbs includes a bit of rosemary, thyme, parsley, oregano, dried basil. Feel free to use any you want, skip it, OR use fresh herbs 1/2 cup sliced fresh basil right at the end would be amazing 1/4 – 1/2 cup chives, parsley 2 tbsp oregano Red pepper flakes – for touch of heat, totally optional Sugar – totally optional (takes edge off the sour)
