CALIFORNIA – Ready for a new line-up on your Super Bowl party buffet? Through March, Olive Garden restaurants are serving its newest dish "Loaded Pasta Chips," and we have the recipe!

This appetizer hack could be perfect for your watch parties -- an Italian twist on nachos, swapping tortilla chips for lightly fried pasta chips, that can include such toppings as cheeses, meat sauces with chicken, meatballs or sausage, peppers or an Alfredo drizzle.

Thanks, Olive Garden!
