Delicious as Olive Garden's version of it is ... a crispy appetizer consisting of fried lasagna pasta topped with meat sauce and cheese, which you would be hard pressed to find in Italy.

Olive Garden only sells pots of its Alfredo sauce in certain stores, which you can find listed on its website. If Alfredo sauce isn't your thing, you can also get pots of its marinara or meat ...

My daughter's $19 lasagna classico was a pretty straightforward lasagna dish. Olive Garden's meat sauce is a blend of beef and Italian sausage, and it gave the meal the perfect savory flavor.

Before you go to Olive Garden for nothing but endless breadsticks ... but I liked it for a touch of heat. However, the sauce seemed waterier than that on the meatless manicotti.
