Cheesy Lasagna Dips

Olive Garden Has Transformed a Signature Dish into Lasagna Dip

— September 26, 2018 — Lifestyle
While Olive Garden is known for it's loaded dishes, the chain is kicking things up a notch with an ultra cheesy creation called Lasagna Dip. A clever twist on a signature dish, the new appetizer offers an unexpected way to enjoy meat and cheese.

Just as the name suggests, Lasagna Dip takes all the delicious elements of lasagna and transforms it into a saucy, dippable creation. More specifically, the dish consists of layers of cheese and homemade meat sauce, topped with smoked mozzarella. Naturally, the dish is served with pasta chips tossed in Parmesan and garlic salt for an Olive Garden-style take on chips and dip.

Available in restaurants or through Olive Garden's catering menu, Lasagna Dip is the ultimate way to share comfort food with friends and family.
