Olive Garden has just made an announcement that has Americans everywhere cheering!

If you know anything about Olive Garden, you know that the restaurant chain offers a Never Ending Pasta Pass for eight weeks a year to the most dedicated lovers of carbs. However, many felt that eight weeks was not enough, so Olive Garden just did something that will make any pasta aficionado ecstatic. This year, 1,000 people can purchase an Annual Pasta Pass for Olive Garden, which will mean that they never need to cook dinner for a full 52 weeks!

The $300 Annual Pass began September 24, 2018 and will go through September 22, 2019, and it offers those who have it all the pasta, soup, salad, and breadsticks that they could ever dream of. Olive Garden is closed only on Thanksgiving and Christmas, but there’s no limit to how often pass holders can visit other than those two days!

A total of 23,000 eight-week Never Ending Pasta Passes are also available for $100 each, and they run from September 24 to November 18.

Jeff Berman holds the current record for the most meals consumed during pasta pass season by visiting Olive Garden an astounding 140 times in 56 days last year! In order to make back your money for the annual pass, all you have to do is go roughly 15 times during the year. If you have the eight week pass, going just five times should make back your money, assuming each meal is around $20.

I’m a huge pasta lover, so I will certainly need to look into this pass! If you love pasta too, be sure to check it out for yourself!
