These Breadsticks Taste Just Like the Ones at Olive Garden
Olive Garden: what many consider to be an abomination on Italian food. That aside, their breadsticks are unauthentic, yet flippin' delicious. So here's a copycat Olive Garden breadsticks recipe for when you don't want to put pants on or spend money.
When you make them at home, you can customize them to your preference. Vegan? Use vegan butter or olive oil instead of butter. Garlic lover? Pile it up! It's all in your hands.
These are soft, salty, buttery, garlicky, and will satisfy any Olive Garden breadstick craving. Use this copycat Olive Garden breadstick recipe, make an "Italian" salad with black olives and pepperoncinis, and say "Ciao" to listening to Frank Sinatra while shelling out oodles of cash for mediocre pasta.
