Please refer to my FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
My good friend used to work at Carrabba's back in the early 2000's and when I saw this recipe in the Carrabba's cookbook (affiliate link), I checked with her on the accuracy with how she remembered making it. She confirmed this is almost the exact recipe they made. The only thing she added was they used all fresh herbs (no dried) back then and also fresh garlic along with the garlic powder (so I added those optional changes/additions to the recipe card above.) So, if you want to make this like the cookbook, don't use fresh oregano and no fresh garlic. If you want to make it like the early 2000's, then use fresh oregano and fresh garlic along WITH the garlic powder.
