Surf and turf is one thing, but Olive Garden is offering an even more indulgent way to enjoy seafood in the form of its new Lobster Shrimp Mac & Cheese.
As part of its holiday menu, Olive Garden is serving up two new Oven Baked Pastas. The first is the Lobster Shrimp Mac & Cheese, which takes cheese, tomatoes, shrimp, lobster and rigatoni pasta, and smothers it in a creamy Alfredo sauce. The whole thing is topped with breadcrumbs and then baked in the oven until bubbling hot.
For those who prefer poultry over seafood, Olive Garden is also serving up a new Asiago Tortelloni Alfredo with Grilled Chicken. This cheesy dish combines Asiago-filled tortellini pasta with Alfredo sauce, a blend of cheeses, breadcrumbs and grilled chicken for an ultra creamy dish.
