My hubby and I recently ate at Olive Garden, and I was determined to eat something besides their Stuffed Chicken Marsala (I get it every time I eat there. Literally.). I chose the Ravioli Di Portobello. And I have found my new favorite Olive Garden dinner. Smoked Gouda cheese. Sun-dried tomatoes. And... well, not much else. Not only is this recipe delicious, it is super easy! I made it for our family reunion, and it got rave reviews. To make my life ridiculously easy, I just went ahead and bought a big thing of 5 cheese tortellini from Costco and served the sauce over that. And, for about the same cost as one dish at the Olive Garden, I fed 13 people!
Sauce for Olive Garden's Ravioli Di Portobello
from: food.com
2 c. milk
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. flour
8 ounces smoked Gouda cheese
3 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir it until it makes a thick paste. Add the milk, stirring constantly. Cook it until the sauce thickens. Cut up the smoked Gouda cheese and add it to the saucepan. Throw in your sun-dried tomatoes and stir it all until the cheese melts. Serve it over ravioli (or tortellini, or whatever you want).
*Note: this amount serves 2-4, not 13!
All I ever get at Olive Garden is their Portabella Mushroom Ravioli. And if I don't, I'm always dissappointed because that's what I really wanted. So, I'll definitely be trying this!
