I have to say when asked what is my favorite recipe I have ever recreated what would it be? It would be without a doubt, the Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce.
When I was in high school we lived in Coldspring, Texas, it was far from any major city. So for me going to the Olive Garden was amazing. My home town had one restaurant at the time, and while it was quite good, it didn’t have things like any sort of Italian style dishes. They didn’t serve up something more exotic like Alfredo sauce, or that delicious chocolate covered cheesecake they used to sell.
I always thought their Alfredo sauce was intriguing. I lived out in the country, so for me, this was exotic. I would watch public television on the weekends (we didn’t have cable) for the cooking shows. I would check out books from our library just to try to find recipes similar to ones I tried in restaurants. This is how I got started recreating recipes.
Here are all of my Olive Garden Recipes. So many of my early recipes were my favorite Olive Garden recipes. I have done quite a few over the years. I hope you enjoy my collection of Olive Garden recipes.

Did you ever find the recipe for the chocolate covered cheesecake?

Stephanie,
I am looking for the perfect Marinara sauce. All your recipes sound so delicious and I will try the 5 Cheese Lasagna soon but I would really love to have the perfect sauce to go with it. I’ve tried several from the internet but they were disappointing – too sweet or not the flavor I’m looking for. I want guest to rave over the sauce. Do you have something for me? Sure would appreciate your sharing.
Thank you!
Sandy

Maybe you’ve already found a recipe for Lemonchello Dolcini, but this is the closest I found.

I believe it’s Limonchello…..and dolcini is just “A selection of 25 mini desserts”. So I’m not sure just what you were looking for. I hope this helps.

I used to work at the Olive Garden back in the early 90s…the Pasta Fagioli Soup wasn’t made with marinara sauce (although I’m sure it’s delicious that way)…they always used V-8 when I worked there.
Cheers!

Olive Garden’s Talapia Piccata with Parmesan crusted Zucchini is wonderful. I’d love to know their secret recipes.

Steak Gorgonzola, I believe that was the title. No Alfredo, just the steak and stuff–It is delicious. Do you have that recipe? I didn’t see it, but would love to have it. Thanks so much. This site is delicious.
Chris
This is a recipe that I would like as well. The steak gorgonzola. I’ve only eaten at Olive Garden a couple of times, and this is one of the dishes I had. I was great.

I was out in CO, 2015 for Xmas at my son’s house. My daughter-in-law made 2 of your soup receipes & I felt like I was at the restaurant, they were so delicious. I got hooked on this but I am a widow & some of the receipes I will have to cut in half. Do you have any suggestions on freezing any of the cooked receipes. I am so thanful for getting me hooked on your site. I hope that everyone that gets on your site appreciates all of your effort in what you do. Thank You
Stephanie
I hope you enjoyed your time out in Colorado. I grew up in Pueblo. I don’t typically freeze recipes. My freezer, unfortunately, turns into a frozen wasteland. I do try to plan out my meals, and I invite someone over to share. People have noted that all of the soup recipes freeze well.

stephaniemanley
You can go to the recipe, and click on ‘Make Recipe’ and it will save it to a recipe box for you. You could also pin a recipe to one of your pin board at pinterest to save a recipe. I hope this helps!

Years ago Olive Garden made a dish with Chicken, Garlic and broccoli, and it was wonderful! I can’t remember the name of it though. 🙁 Can you help?
stephaniemanley
I am not sure which recipe that was, but I will see what I can do.

It was called Garlic Herb Chicken Con Broccoli… my favorite also and easily the best thing they had on their menu… I have not been back since they removed it!

I believe it is called Diablo sauce, Spicey tomato sauce
