heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

canned tomatoes

🥗Healthier: fresh tomatoes

💰Cheaper: no-name brand canned tomatoes

Fresh tomatoes can offer better flavor in season.

olive oil
