As summer becomes fall, 22,000 Americans are delighted to find out they’ve won an unlimited pasta pass from Olive Garden. To win requires determination, a quick internet connection and a willingness to go down a path someone may come to regret. I had all three; I won a pasta pass.
The Olive Garden pasta pass is a simple card that entitles patrons to 55 days of unlimited soup or salad and unlimited pasta. The pasta options include one of a few noodle choices, and then the addition of a meat topping. For $100, the holder of a pass can enter an Olive Garden as many times as he desires and eat as much of the unlimited pasta as he desires.
