Chef Pablo’s Restaurant Recipes

The secret to this recipe is finding the right wine. Finding restaurant recipes is one thing, finding all of the right ingredients can be the biggest challenge.

When making this pasta from The Cheesecake Factory™, don’t just buy any Madeira wine you find.  Make sure you’re using the deep red Madeira wine which has a nice sweet flavor to it.  There are some pink and white Madeira wines with a completely different flavor.  Don’t make the mistake of using those in this pasta dish.  You’ll definitely be disappointed.

Many cooks have experimented with this recipe and I believe I’ve brought together the best of all of them to create a very close copycat of the restaurant recipe. Please comment below if you think this is missing something or could use some improvement.

This is one of the more affordable restaurant recipes.  This is great for a busy weeknight dinner especially if you start marinading the night before.

Grilled chicken breast topped with bacon, honey mustard sauce, sautéed mushrooms, Monterrey Jack and Cheddar. Normally served with Aussie Chips.

You can also turn this into their delicious Alice Springs Chicken Quesadilla.  Simply slice thin and place inside of a flour tortilla along some bacon, honey mustard sauce, sauteed mushrooms and Mexican cheese blend.  Grill until crisp and serve with some additional honey mustard sauce.

Outback Steakhouse™ Alice Springs Chicken Recipe

This is one of the most popular restaurant recipes from Olive Garden™. This is a spicy sausage and bacon soup with russet potatoes and greens in a creamy broth.

If you substitute cauliflower for the potatoes, you can make a great low-carb Atkins friendly soup that will taste exactly like the original restaurant recipe from The Olive Garden™.  Another option would be to cook this up in a programmable crock pot with the pre-cooked sausage and backon in there.  It will be ready for you when you get home.  Just add the kale and cream before serving.

Serve this with a nice basket of Olive Garden™ Breadsticks and their house salad. A wonderful lunch or dinner meal for you and your family.
