"As a former Olive Garden employee who has the taste of Zuppa Toscana burned into my taste buds, I can truly say that my soup tonight came out as a perfect match. It's delicious."
-Dans La Lune
"This was amazing! The only thing I did differently was to use fettuccine since that is what I had on hand. My son and fiancé loved this meal and said it needs to go in the rotation."
-Tracy R.
"This meal was a hit with the whole family! Leftovers were great, too. Just add a splash of milk or water to get the right consistency."
-Oliver & Fischer's Mommy
"These were so good! Now whenever I need breadsticks to go with my meal, I pop a few in the oven for 10 minutes, and then brush them with a mix of melted butter, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Delish!"
-thirdsplease
"This was unbelievably good and tasted exactly like Olive Garden's! I made it without the breadcrumbs and flour to make it low carb, and it was even better than I expected."
-kayte1ps
"This soup is spot-on! If I closed my eyes, I'd swear I was at the restaurant. This soup is rich and creamy and luscious."
-mandabears
"This is a simple but great combination, and it's just like Olive Garden's famous house salad. I made my own oil and red wine vinegar dressing with a pinch of sugar and oregano."
-*Parsley*
"So fresh tasting and really beautiful on the plate. I used the suggested vegetables, and think I'd love to add some mushrooms too next time."
-breezermom
"The best dessert recipe I've ever tasted! Time-consuming, but easy. The second time I made it, I doubled the cream cheese and chocolate chips for the second layer and it made it more like a cheesecake layer. Yum!"
-FKBlonde
"This is great, especially with homemade Alfredo sauce! Works well over tortellini, too. And when in a pinch and out of balsamic glaze, balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing works really well!"
-psycho42
"OMG! I have a new favorite dish, not only to make, but to eat. I wouldn't change a thing!"
-Bri22
"A perfect soup to take advantage of fresh garden herbs and produce. It is so delicious — and very healthy. This turned out so well that I am making another batch to freeze.�
-ChansonCooks
"I made these for a special family dinner and everyone loved them. I used crab instead of clams, and they turned out amazing. Great recipe!"
-Chermoni
"I picked up some chicken scampi from Olive Garden to do a side-by-side comparison. There was no difference in taste! This is a major hit with my family."
-HeatherCrampton
"I would never have thought that this would turn out so well in the slow cooker, but it is AMAZING! Two hearty thumbs up."
-Xmaspresnt0
This lightened-up version of the Olive Garden original is so delicious and creamy, you'd never know it's low-fat!
"Simply outstanding. I made this for my wife and she says it's the best thing I have ever cooked."
-bretth65
"The red pepper flakes give this dip a nice little kick! Instead of using French bread, I brushed tortillas with olive oil and crisped them on the griddle. Yum!"
-Kerfuffle-Upon-Wincle
"Delicious! We added cream to the sauce, and it was smooth, spicy, rich and flavorful."
-Shawnee TX
This restaurant favorite is the complete package. Put pasta, protein and veggies on the table, all in one delicious dish!
"The sauce was so delicious, I could have drank it out of the pan. Next time, I think I will set some of the sauce to the side and thicken it to make a nice cream sauce for pasta."
-Chef #1344541
"Loved the tang from the lemon juice drizzle on the cake layers. The cake slices up very pretty — especially if you keep it chilled."
-Muffin Goddess
"I've never had these at Olive Garden so don't know how they compare. But I love bruschetta and these were really good. Thanks for sharing."
-dr_kaley
"These things are pretty good!! I used cheese raviolis. I really did enjoy them with some marinara!"
-dr_kaley
"I have made this before and this recipe is absolutely incredible. I would recommend using the marscapone cheese if you can find it for the taste and texture."
-Meghan Williams
