I can't say that I have ever had the Bolognese Sauce at Olive Garden, but I have had many different other ones. This is really good; my eldest daughter told me it is her favorite sauce I make....sadly, even better than my 4th generation Italian Spaghetti Sauce (Sunday Gravy) passed down from my Great-Great Grandmother Maria Concetta Scalzo who came to the US from Calabria. I think she is wrong by the way :) But all the same, this is a good sauce. I used 1 pound of Italian sausage instead of mixing the two different meats and it turned out good. I kept everything else the same.

I made exactly as the recipe from the Olive Garden website, using 16 ounces of crushed tomatoes, not 28 ounces. It is not the worst bolognese sauce I have ever made but it was not good. It was watery and bland. I have never had the bolognese sauce at Olive Garden, so this may very well be an exact replica, but there are much better bolognese sauce recipes out there.
