Hello, fellow food lover! 👋

May has been one of our most delicious months yet at CopyKat — seven brand-new recipes just hit the site, and I am SO excited to share them all with you. We’ve got a dreamy Olive Garden pasta bake, a creamy clam sauce straight from the Old Spaghetti Factory, a tropical cocktail that screams summer, smoky green chile queso, cozy chicken soup, the most addictive fry sauce you’ve ever tasted, and fluffy mashed potatoes that go with absolutely everything. Something for everyone — let’s get into it! 🙌

🍝 Italian Night at Home

​Olive Garden Four Cheese Manicotti — This one is pure comfort food at its finest. Tender manicotti shells stuffed with a four-cheese ricotta filling, smothered in slow-simmered homemade marinara, and topped with bubbling golden mozzarella. It tastes like a night out at Olive Garden — except you made it yourself, and the breadsticks are unlimited because you’re in charge. 🧀🍅

​Old Spaghetti Factory White Clam Sauce — Creamy, garlicky, chowder-style white clam sauce with celery and half-and-half, served over a pile of linguine. If you’ve ever been to the Old Spaghetti Factory, you know this dish. And now you can make it at home any night of the week — no reservation required. 🐚

🍸 Sip Something Tropical

​Olive Garden Blue Capri — This gorgeous blue cocktail is ready in 5 minutes and tastes like a vacation. Coconut rum, pineapple juice, sour mix, and blue curaçao — it’s refreshing, balanced, and absolutely stunning in a glass. Make a pitcher for your next gathering and watch everyone ask what’s in it. 🌴💙

🧀 The Queso That Will Steal the Show

​Torchy’s Green Chile Queso — This isn’t your average queso. Charred salsa verde, layers of creamy melted cheese, and a crown of fresh guacamole — bold, bright, and completely addictive. Torchy’s fans, this one is going to blow your mind. Serve it with a big bag of chips and watch it disappear. 🌶️

🍲 Cozy Comfort in a Bowl

​Jason’s Deli Chicken and Wild Rice Soup — Rich, creamy, loaded with tender rotisserie chicken, hearty wild rice, and fresh vegetables. This is the kind of soup that wraps you up like a warm hug. It comes together in about an hour, and every single spoonful is pure comfort. ☁️🫕

🍟 The Sauce & Side You Didn’t Know You Needed

​Freddy’s Fry Sauce — We finally cracked the code on Freddy’s famous sauce. Creamy, tangy, with just the right kick from pickle juice and a secret spice blend — it’s ready in under 30 minutes and will ruin all other condiments for you forever. You’ve been warned. 😄

​Golden Corral Mashed Potatoes — Light, fluffy, impossibly buttery mashed potatoes with just 5 ingredients, ready in 30 minutes. These go with absolutely everything, and your family will be asking for them every single week. 🥔🧈
