When is the last time that you and your other half went out together… alone? When is the last time you could afford it? I’m sad to say it’s been way too long for Super Genius and I! Now that the kids are back in school though we have some alone time and a chance to sneak off for lunch together. Right now Olive Garden is the ideal place to go because their annual Never Ending Pasta Bowl promotion is going on through October 10th!
If you are on of America’s 97% of pasta lovers then you will not want to miss this event! For just $8.95 per person you can dine on unlimited servings of over 40 mouthwatering pasta bowl combos! Olive Garden even has two new sauces this year, a Creamy Parmesan Portobello Sauce and Chianti Three Meat Sauce. YUM! Also new this year, Meat Lovers can add on unlimited Roasted Chicken, Meatballs or Italian Sausage for just $2.95! My mouth is watering just looking at the yummy dishes they offer! Don’t think pasta is all you get either, unlimited garden salad or soup and breadsticks are all included as well!
According to a national survey 98% of Americans have a passion for pasta! Check out these other fun results from that Olive Garden shares:
If given the choice to sit down to an Italian dinner with a special person like a relative, movie star, celebrated athlete or the President of the United States, among others, 47 percent of Americans would choose a family member.
Nearly one-fourth of Americans admitted that they wish a delicious meal would never end.
If choice was no longer an option when it came to pasta sauces, 74 percent of Americans would stick to meat sauce, Alfredo or marinara sauce for the rest of their lives.
When it comes to food, 35 percent of Americans associated Italian cuisine with generosity and abundance, more than any other type of food. Other fare that comes to mind includes American (31%), Asian (18%) or Mexican (13%).

Tough choice! I am going to have to narrow it down and say for me Id love to try the New Cheese and Portebello Alfredo sauce over Fettuccine and for my Hubby the new Chianyti 3 meat sauce over Penne! We would also splurge and get the unlimited add on Sausage or Meatball, or Roasted Chicken for an extra $2.95!Sounds great especially cause we would get the salad etc with it!
We really NEED to win this…my marriage desperatly needs a night out!

Hi on this fine holiday! :) Me, I would go with spagetti, because incredibly, we don’t have that much at home. We tend to go with the bowties or egg noddles or something. Just not really spagetti. And the sauce, would go with, at least first, the five cheese one. :)
already have liked them on Facebook for a while. . . love the Olive Garden! LOL :)
