OLIVE GARDEN MAC AND CHEESE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Cook the pasta according to the package directions for al dente; drain., Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, 1 cup mozzarella and the ricotta, provolone and Romano. Cook over medium heat until sauce begins to simmer and cheeses are melted. Stir in cooked pasta; pour mixture into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Top with remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese., In a small bowl, stir together Parmesan, bread crumbs, garlic and olive oil; sprinkle over the pasta., Bake, uncovered, until mixture is bubbly and topping is golden brown, 30-40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired.

Steps:

• Bring a large, straight-sided skillet or pot filled with water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Add pasta and cook until al dente according to package directions. Drain.
• Add chicken to a large shallow bowl or plate and season with 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle evenly with ¼ cup flour, tossing until tenders are lightly coated.
• In the same pan used to cook the pasta, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add chicken in an even layer, working in batches if necessary. Cook until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a large plate.
• Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan and add bell peppers, onions, and ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and browned in places, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer pepper mixture to plate with chicken.
• Heat pan to medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon each butter and flour; whisk to incorporate. Cook until mixture is bubbling and golden, 1 minute. Slowly add wine, whisking constantly until incorporated. Add broth, remaining 7 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and let cook, whisking frequently until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Add pasta to pan, tossing with tongs until noodles are completely coated in sauce. (It might seem quite liquidy to start, but in time the pasta will absorb much of the sauce.) Add parsley, chicken, and pepper mixture, plus any accumulated juices from the plate. Toss until combined.
• Garnish with parsley before serving.
