In today's food world, the motto seems to be the bigger, the better. When we're not creating our own oversize meals (you know you want this giant pizza bagel), we're finding over-the-top food and drinks like these giant cinnamon rolls and crazy Bloody Mary's. Olive Garden, no stranger to crazy meals, has the newest Hulk-sized dish, and it caters to pasta lovers.
The star of the Giant Meatball and Four Cheese Manicotti is a 12-ounce meatball — that's a solid three-quarters of a pound of meat (equivalent to six tennis balls, in case you were wondering). By comparison, standard Olive Garden meatballs are around two ounces, so this one's clearly meant to share. Underneath, there's a hefty portion of manicotti stuffed with four cheeses and topped with both marinara and Alfredo sauces. Go big or go home, right?
The giant meatball is one of Olive Garden's new Big Italian Classics meals, which are available through May 27. Also on the menu: Stuffed Fettuccine Alfredo. Thick fettuccine noodles are filled with ricotta, mozzarella, pecorino and Parmesan and covered in OG's classic Alfredo sauce. You can order it on its own or with grilled chicken or shrimp.
Both dishes are available at all Olive Garden locations now and come with unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks ... because if you're not rolling out of there, is it really an Olive Garden meal?
