Olive Garden Ravioli di Portobello
Pretty much every time we visit Olive Garden we get the soup and salad. This Thrusday night was no exception. We ordered the soup and salad. The waitress reminded us that at dinner time the price goes up and it would be about $10 per person. Well shoot, for that price I might as well get something different. So I re-opened the menu and selected the Ravioli di Portobello.
Now I love mushrooms. All kinds of mushrooms and cooked in all different ways. The Ravioli di Portobello is made with a creamy smoked cheese and sun-dried tomato sauce. When the waitress put the plate down it looked good and I couldn’t wait for a bite. The ravioli was cooked just right, not to hard and not overcooked to the point of being starchy. The sauce was very cheesey and flavorful. And underneath it all you can still taste the mushroom but it is not over powering. After the appetizer I really didn’t think I could eat all the ravioli but it was so good (and there were only 7 on the plate) I ate it all. Even though Debra is not a fan of mushrooms I had her try a bite. She said the sauce was excelent but a little to much mushroom for her.
