Even if you don't know much about the cartoon cat Garfield, you probably know that he loves pasta – especially lasagna. In honor of this feline's favorite dish, Pizza Hut Australia has introduced two new Garfield-themed pizza pastas: the Mac n' Cheese Pasta Pizza and the new Bolognese Pasta Pizza. The Mac n' Cheese Pasta Pizza combines macaroni and cheese pasta, along with extra mozzarella and cheddar, and the chain's secret parm topping, all atop a pizza crust. On the other hand, the new Bolognese Pasta Pizza features a pizza crust topped with spiral pasta, marinara, extra mozzarella and cheddar, and the chain's same secret parm topping. Both of the new Pasta Pizzas are available now.
