19 Olive Garden Copycats You Can Make At Home

Sharing is caring!

When it comes to Italian chain restaurants, you have to admit Olive Garden is the best. Their soups, salads and breadsticks are always endless and if you visit them during a promotion you can even get endless pasta.

However, it’s not always in the budget to go out to eat. All of my family loves pasta, which means a single visit to Olive Garden can cost us a pretty penny. But we love their food so much that we have started making Copycat Olive Garden Recipes at home. Below you will find 19 of our favorites!

If you are craving pasta, but not Olive Garden pasta check out my 32 Easy Pasta Recipes post. You will for sure find a few ideas there.

1. Chicken & Gnocchi Soup is known for being hearty. It is a rich soup that can be made into a meal.

2. This Peach Tea will quench any thirst you might have real quick.

3. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that doesn’t love Olive Garden Breadsticks.

4. Add chicken to this Olive Garden Salad to  make it a meal or serve along side your main course.

5. Minestrone Soup is hearty & filling, yet frugal because it’s a vegetarian soup.

6. Sausage, Kale and Potatoes – Oh my! Zuppa Toscana is one of our families favorites.

7. Olive Garden Chicken Marsala is a true Italian classic. It’s made with wine, mushrooms, and chicken breasts.
