Today I went out to eat dinner at Olive Garden. Everyone was in the mood for Italian and I had recently seen an Olive Garden commercial that had gluten free noodles. I looked up the menu before l left and was honestly not that impressed. However, a few gluten free options are better then none.
My family sat down and we began to look at the menus. I awkwardly was handed a packet of paper. A packet you say? There must have been so many options! Wrong... there was four. However, Olive Garden feels the need to pair the gluten free menu and the nutritional information together. Don't get me wrong, I understand why they have it. But do they really have to staple four pages of things I can't eat to the back of my menu? Why must you be so cruel to me Olive Garden!
I decided to go with the Rotini with Marinara. I wasn't really in the mood for a stake or salmon. While it was nice to actually have something to eat at an Italian restaurant, I think Olive Garden could enhance the menu a little bit. Adding another type of pasta wouldn't hurt. I would be a happy camper if I could find a nice gluten free spaghetti and meatballs.
Anyway, I got my pasta and it looked good, it tasted good as well. It wasn't anything amazing but I'll take what I can get. The only negative thing about the pasta was that it was really slippery. I awkwardly used my fork like a shove because I couldn't get the dang things to stay on my plate. All in all, I was satisfied with my dinner. Could I have made this at home? Yes, but sometimes I just don't want to do the dishes...
