Swaps that keep this dish what it is. The prices on this page are for the recipe as written.
Vegetarian
- 500 g plant-based mince instead of lean beef mince
- 500 ml vegetable stock instead of chicken stock
Plant-based mince only needs a couple of minutes to brown before the stock and tomatoes go in; the rest of the timing is unchanged.
Gluten-free
- 340 g gluten-free macaroni instead of macaroni
Gluten-free macaroni softens faster and absorbs more liquid, so check it after 6 minutes and add a splash of stock if it gets dry.
