    🧀 Ingredients & Substitutions

    ingredients with labels

    Garlic: You can use ¾ teaspoon of garlic powder in place of 3 minced garlic cloves.

    Pecorino Romano: Parmesan is a good alternative if you can't find pecorino romano. You can also freeze hard cheese like pecorino romano and parmesan for up to 2 months. Buy it finely grated so you don't have to thaw it when you are ready to use it.

    Lemon Zest: Optional, gives the vegetables a light lemon flavor.
