Olive Garden Chicken Alfredo Spaghetti Pie

 


I love Olive Garden but never had this dish.  

For sure I will be trying this recipe.

Love the blog Clarks Condensed which covers so much more than recipes.  Check it out!

Source: https://www.clarkscondensed.com/copycat-olive-garden-spaghetti-pie-chicken-alfredo/




Ingredients

  • 1 package (16 ounces) of spaghetti noodles
  • 1/2 cup cooked pancetta
  • 1-2 cups of homemade alfredo (see comments for Alfredo recipe suggestions)
  • 2 cups Italian cheese shredded cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 refrigerated pie crust (or homemade if you really want)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 lb chicken breast, sliced
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • Italian Seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil and put noodles in. Cook until al dente.
  3. While cooking, put a pastry pie shell into a deep dish pie pan.
  4. Drain the excess water from the pasta and then add in 1 1/2 cups shredded Italian cheese and parmesan cheese. Stir quickly so the cheese doesn't get gloppy.
  5. Pour the pasta evenly into the pie shell. Top with remaining 1/2 cup Italian cheese.
  6. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until cheese on top is bubbling and brown.
  7. While baking, grill chicken on stove top in a small amount of cooking oil. Toss chicken before cooking in pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
  8. Make the alfredo sauce as well.
  9. When pasta comes out of oven, top with chicken and alfredo sauce. Reserve extra alfredo sauce for people to add.

Notes

We love this alfredo sauce:

Coconut Shrimp copycat inspired by Red Lobster

Quick Coconut Shrimp Recipe photo by Taste of Home




One of my favorite meals ever!  

This copycat recipe was inspired by Red Lobster's Parrot Isle Coconut Shrimp.

Can't wait to try out these shrimp as well as the Pina Colada Sauce!




INGREDIENTS

1 pound uncooked jumbo shrimp (about 12), peeled and deveined
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1-1/3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
Oil for deep-fat frying
1 jar (12 ounces) pineapple preserves
1 tablespoon frozen nonalcoholic pina colada mix, thawed



DIRECTIONS

Starting with the tail, make a slit down the inner curve of each shrimp; press lightly to flatten. 

In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour, egg whites and coconut. 

Coat the shrimp with flour; dip into egg whites, then coat with the coconut.

In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. 

Fry shrimp, a few at a time, for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. 

Drain on paper towels.


Pina Colada Sauce

In a small bowl, combine preserves and pina colada mix. 

Serve with shrimp. Yield: 4 servings.
