Olive Garden is one of our regular eatouts and "Fettucini Alfredo" is an all time favorite. Even before we start the main course, me and my hubby eagerly await their yummy Italian breadsticks which is served with olive oil.
It lets out an aroma which is truly mouthwatering. :) I cannot resist trying this recipe.
