-Cinque Pasti (aka 5 Meals), Rigatoni, Traditional Marinara & Crispy Chicken Fritta [Refill]

Day 40, Meal 88

My Rating:

My Rating:Cinque Pasti is COMPLETE for the day. It’s been a long and exhausting day full of Olive Garden. #WorthIt. So let’s get to the final meal of Rigatoni, Traditional Marinara & Crispy Chicken Fritta: Originally, this came out as a full-size portion: I’ve had mixed feelings with the Traditional Marinara, and tonight was not its night. Sadly, this is a 5/10. The Traditional Meat Sauce is WORLDS better (although it’s also more than double the calories). #WorthIt. Here is the Ziosk showing a cost savings of $14.82: Here is the nutritional information for this meal:

Day 40, Meal 87

My Rating:

My Rating:For meal 4 of 5 today, during Cinque Pasti, I’m going with a refill portion of Whole Grain Linguine, Traditional Meat Sauce & Italian Sausage: I wasn’t quite sure how much I was going to love this, but I was BLOWN AWAY. This was really really fantastic. I loved the ratio of the pasta:sauce:topping. Everything played perfect together. I wasn’t even starving as I already had 3 meals today, and I still downed this SO FAST. For a Friday night, I was in and out of the restaurant in literally 15 minutes, which is just amazing. 10/10. Here is […]

-Cinque Pasti (aka 5 Meals), Angel Hair, Creamy Mushroom & Grilled Chicken [Refill]

Day 40, Meal 86

My Rating:

My Rating:Meal 3 of 5 today is going to be my kryptonite pasta, Angel Hair. I don’t know what it is, but it’s just not for me. However, on days like today, I feel the urge to give it another chance. So many people love it, so it MUST be good, right?: Sadly, wrong. I still dislike this pasta. And despite this being a refill portion, and it not looking like much is underneath, it was just SO MUCH PASTA. And despite the Creamy Mushroom looking great, I wasn’t super huge on it today. It wasn’t bad by any means, […]

Day 40, Meal 85

My Rating:

My Rating:Meal 2 of 5 today during Cinque Pasti is Cavatappi, Alfredo & Crispy Shrimp Fritta: This was really fantastic. Huge fan. I’ve had this sauce/toppings combo with Fettuccine & Whole Grain Linguine before, and it works awesome with Cavatappi too! 9/10. My (silly) girls joined me today after work for this meal, and they split a kids meal, Fettuccine Alfredo, French Fries & a Breadstick each (and as Chloe would say, don’t forget ketchup): Here is the Ziosk showing a cost savings of $15.88 for (my portion of) this meal: Here is the nutritional information for this meal:

Day 40, Meal 84

My Rating:

My Rating:Today starts a new theme, Cinque Pasti (aka 5 Meals). I’m going to have 5 different meals that I haven’t had before, during 5 different visits, eating 5 different pastas, 5 different sauces and 5 different toppings! Let’s start with Fettuccine, Five Cheese Marinara and Meatballs: Note, this is really Meatball & not Meatballs as described above, but when you are having 5 meals in a single day, you gotta go with the Refill portion 🙂 This was a very good meal! I’d say an 8/10. I think some freshly grated romano would push it to a 9, but I […]
