This soup is just a little less famous, but only because gnocchi isn't as well known. Think of it as chicken and dumplings, Italian-style.

Is it really better? Amanda Bremner certainly thinks so: "Made it for my incredibly picky fiancee who loves the Olive Garden Alfredo. He tasted it and, without seeing the name of the recipe, immediately stated that it's better than Olive Garden and that I should make it more."

"This delicious rich and creamy spinach Alfredo is better than Olive Garden®!" says nbrock_85. "Top with grilled chicken on fettuccine pasta for a complete meal or use as a dip for bread sticks. Add more spinach if you're a spinach lover or leave it out if you're not a fan. I like adding lots of garlic! For a thicker sauce, add more cream cheese."
