This dish features asiago cheese-filled tortelloni (a larger version of tortellini) tossed in Olive Garden’s signature house-made Alfredo sauce. It is topped with sliced grilled chicken and baked with a blend of Italian cheeses and toasted breadcrumbs to add a slight crunch to the creamy texture.

- Vegetarian Style: Order it without the chicken.
- Toppings: You can add extra broccoli or mushrooms for a nutritional boost.
