Do you like the soup, salad and breadsticks at Olive Garden? Soooo good! I love the latest one Chicken Gnocchi (sp?) It isn't for those who are dieting or at least those sticking to a diet (wink) but it is delicious. So I was hoping to find a good recipe for it that I could tweak to be healthier, fewer calories and cheaper. I didn't find one but I did find one similar to the Pasta E Fagioli.
