Sensational Olive Gardens at home! The sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes should not scare you off, they intensify the deep cheesy sensation and don't predominate. Why, I think I'll make mac 'n' cheese with this sauce! This recipe will make 4 Olive Garden portions. I cut back for my personal serving and feel stuffed. Made for Photo Tag.

I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom's homecooked meals.
