One of my favorite restaurants is Olive Garden and after I went there a couple of weeks ago I thought to myself, "I could make this same recipe for half the price and it would be just as good!" My favorite menu item at Olive Garden is the chicken parmesan and I substitute the spaghetti for fettuccine alfredo (for a $2.75 surcharge!). I was on a mission to make that recipe but on a way smaller budget! When I finally made the chicken parmesan with a side of fettuccine alfredo, I was able to make a meal that served two for the price of one plate at Olive Garden! I fell like I must share this recipe because it is so easy!
