Tradition is Tasty: Olive Garden Survey Finds Spaghetti and Meat Sauce Remain Favorites Among Americans

Olive Garden latest research pool found that traditional cuisine often wins when it comes to the American appetite. Almost three quarters (74%) of Americans who eat pasta prefer the traditional pasta sauces of meat, Alfredo or marinara. Nearly one-in-four (22%) pasta eaters consider spaghetti their favorite pasta.

To help launch this year’s Never Ending Pasta Bowl promotion, Olive Garden asked Americans to share their pasta passions. Additional survey highlights included:

• Ninety-seven percent of Americans are pasta eaters.
• Nearly three quarters (74%) of those who put sauce on their pasta would select meat sauce, Alfredo or marinara if forced to eat one for the rest of their lives.
• Close to seven in ten (68%) Americans think Italian restaurants are the perfect place to bring the family.
• When it comes to food, 35 percent of Americans associate Italian cuisine with generosity and abundance, more than any other type of cuisine.

The Never Ending Pasta Bowl promotion, available now until October 10th, can appease any pasta preference. The promotion offers never ending servings of pasta and more than 40 pasta-sauce combinations at only $8.95 per guest, and also comes with our never ending garden salad, or soup, and breadsticks.

This year, Olive Garden is introducing two new sauces as part of the promotion: the Creamy Parmesan Portobello Sauce and Chianti Three Meat Sauce. Additionally, for the first time, Olive Garden included a menu add-on of unlimited Roasted Chicken to compliment the pasta dishes. For more information, guests can visit www.NeverEndingPastaBowl.com or www.Facebook.com/OliveGarden.

You are probably smarter than this writer, but I didn't know what Orecchiette pasta is. According to About.com:

They're about 3/4 of an inch across, slightly domed, and their centers are thinner than their rims, a characteristic that gives them an interestingly variable texture, soft in the middle and somewhat more chewy outside.

Worth a try.  You can save even more by picking up an Olive Garden Gift Card at Discount.  Make this great Value even better!

Olive Garden chefs have taken their inspiration from Italy’s Piedmont region, where local families gather to celebrate with one another and to reflect upon the abundance and generosity at the heart of Italian cuisine. The new Mezzaluna dishes are solid examples.
