There are three new Oven Baked Pastas at Olive Garden – Smoked Mozzarella Shrimp Rigatoni, Four Meat Italian Mac & Cheese and Asiago Tortelloni Alfredo with Grilled Chicken. I really haven’t seen the mac & cheese in the commercials so I asked my Instagram following which one I should make and you answered loudly! The Asiago Tortelloni with Grilled Chicken!

What is Olive Garden’s Oven Baked Tortellini Alfredo?

I have a long standing love of Olive Garden – growing up in Iowa – it was fancy (20 years ago) if we went to the OG! And I’m not ashamed to admit I still love it! The Olive Garden special has asiago tortelloni tossed in alfredo and then topped with breadcrumbs and grilled chicken. 

The Olive Garden version has tortellONI – and I used tortellINI – so what’s the difference? Tortellini is smaller and typically stuffed with meat. Tortelloni is larger and typically filled with cheese or vegetarian. But – you pretty much can’t find tortellONI at a grocery store – so I just bought tortellINI. The difference is minimal at best.

How do you make Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce from scratch?

Olive Garden actually has recipes on their website and one of them is their Alfredo sauce! And let me tell you – it’s spot on! Olive Garden Alfredo is made without cream cheese – so don’t mistake it! It’s very simple to make – melt butter and garlic – add a little flour and stir. Then add Parmesan, Romano, milk and heavy cream. That’s it! It’s so delicious – you can use a jarred sauce but this is easy enough – you shouldn’t! 

Is Olive Garden Alfredo Gluten Free?

Nope. It has flour. 

Is Olive Garden Alfredo Vegan?

Nope. It has butter and cream. 

Is Olive Garden Alfredo Keto?

Nope. It has flour and milk.

How do you make Olive Garden’s Oven Baked Tortellini Alfredo?

It’s a bit of a juggling act – but it’s on the table in 30 minutes! For the chicken, I just poured the marinade on the chicken and baked it for 25 minutes. While the chicken was baking – I boiled the tortellini. When the tortellini was about half done – I started the alfredo sauce. If you time it right, the chicken, pasta and alfredo are all ready at the same time. Pop the oven to broil – toss the alfredo and pasta together – lay the chicken on top – sprinkle with panko and Italian cheese and in the oven for 3-5 minutes.

Equipment

  • Round Baker Dish
  • saute pan
  • Pasta Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups herb & garlic marinade
  • 8 oz dried cheese tortellini
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 cup Romano cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • PREHEAT oven to 350
  • POUND chicken breasts to an even thickness
  • POUR the marinade over the chicken 
  • BAKE chicken for 25 minutes
  • PREPARE tortellini according to package directions. I am using a dried tortellini, so when I put the chicken in the oven, I started my water boiling. Then I boiled the bag of dried tortellini according to package directions, drained and set aside. You can use fresh or frozen as well if you prefer.
  • When the pasta has about 4-5 minutes left, SAUTE the butter and garlic in a saucepan on medium heat. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
  • ADD the ingredients from the flour to the Romano to saucepan and stir frequently until the sauce begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl, COMBINE drained pasta with most of the Alfredo and toss lightly. Set aside 1/2 cup of Alfredo to add after baking.
  • By now, your chicken should be ready! SLICE chicken breast and set aside.
  • CHANGE the oven to Broil-High
  • SPRAY a casserole dish with non-stick spray
  • POUR pasta and sauce into casserole dish. Top with sliced chicken, bread crumbs and mozzarella.
  • BROIL on high for 3-5 minutes or until cheese starts to brown and bubble. Watch closely!

    Could you make and then freeze this?

    i wouldn't freeze it – i mean – if you have a bowl of leftovers – it would be ok to freeze – but alfredo tends to separate when you reheat it – so i wouldn't make it and plan on just freezing it.

    If I want to double the pasta should I double the sauce to ensure I have enough? Not sure how saucy it is with the 8oz

      Can you bake the chicken in a “homemade” herb and garlic sauce? If so what would be close?

        Oh 100% I would just use olive oil and italian seasoning and leave it overnight in a ziploc – basil, oregano, parsley, rosemary, garlic, garlic and garlic!

    Do you mix the dry marinade with something that you indicate to POUR on the chicken?
    Or do you just put the dry marinade on the chicken and bake with nothing else in the dish, in the oven?

      I used a wet marinade – but if you’re using a dry envelope – mix it according to package directions and soak the chicken in the liquid mixture.

    Huge hit! I thought we would have leftovers…nope! I did salt the pasta water (married an italian) added salt and pepper to the sauce and just put Italian seasoning and olive oil on the chicken to bake. My husband asked when we would be having this again

This is by far the BEST Weight Watchers cabbage soup you’ll ever have! It’s so much more – filled with every vegetable I could think of and I added ground turkey.
