Olive Garden kicked off the holiday season by gifting us all with the return of oven-baked pastas, and that return includes both fan-favorite dishes and all new menu options.

Oven-baked pastas are served with either unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks, obviously, because it's not a trip to Olive Garden without those dang breadsticks. This offer is available for only $10.99 and the options make that price even more impressive. The revival of oven-baked pastas also means the return of the Asiago Tortelloni Alfredo, which is a dish made with cheese-filled tortelloni that's then baked in homemade Alfredo sauce with a blend of Italian cheeses and toasted breadcrumbs.

There are a few new additions to the menu, too, including a Smoked Mozzarella Shrimp Rigatoni, an Asiago Tortelloni Alfredo with Grilled Chicken, and—what I personally believe is the star of the show—a Four-Meat Italian Mac & Cheese.

Mac & cheese is already an A+ dish as is but, hello, four meats! I have perished! This meat- and cheese-centric dish is mac baked with creamy homemade Alfredo and Italian cheeses that's then topped with a hearty four-meat sauce. The sauce includes braised beef, Italian sausage, bacon, and pan-seared beef. So I pretty much won't be thinking about anything else for the next few hours.

All of these oven-baked pastas can be found at participating Olive Garden locations throughout the 2019 holiday season. And with unlimited soup or salad and breadsticks to go along with it, this really is the gift that keeps on giving.
