Copycat Recipe

Here's how to recreate this dish at home:

  • Cook 1 lb cheese ravioli according to package directions
  • Cook 6 slices of bacon until crispy, crumble and set aside
  • In the bacon drippings, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds
  • Add 2 cups heavy cream and simmer until slightly thickened
  • Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and the crumbled bacon
  • Toss with drained ravioli, transfer to a baking dish
  • Top with mozzarella and broil until golden and bubbly

Our Verdict

The Ravioli Carbonara is a solid mid-range pick on the Olive Garden menu. The baked cheese ravioli adds a heartier texture than standard pasta, and the bacon-cream sauce delivers on the comfort food promise. At $17.79, it's reasonably priced for a sit-down Italian restaurant.
