Frequently asked questions

Does pasta al pomodoro contain gluten?

Yes. Both current versions use wheat pasta, so there is no gluten-free compatible version yet.

Which version should I choose if I avoid lactose or milk protein?

Choose the vegan version. It omits the optional Parmesan-style cheese and keeps the tomato, olive oil and basil base.

Can I change the number of servings?

Yes. Use the Recipyx servings buttons and the pasta and sauce ingredient amounts will update.
