Olive Garden's pasta chips

America's second-favorite glutinous holiday is around the corner, with football (and snack) fans preparing to load 2,400 calories of game day snacks into their mouths during the course of a single football game, the Super Bowl. And while this pales to the 4,500 calories Americans typically consume on Thanksgiving, this evening dedicated to sitting on the couch and stuffing your face with nachos, wings and beer needs to be done right. If you're going for an indulgent Super Bowl Sunday spread, you want four quarters' worth of game day snacks to be worth the caloric overload.

Enter: Pasta nachos, an Italian-inspired, wholly American creation that feeds into our collective love of mash-up junk food and, well, snacking on pasta.

Starting on January 29th, Olive Garden will launch Loaded Pasta Chips, "an Italian twist on nachos swapping tortilla chips for lightly fried pasta chips topped with Italian Cheeses, a meat sauce with chicken, meatballs and sausage, cherry peppers and an alfredo drizzle," according to a news release.

If you'd rather watch the big game at home instead of at the bar at your local Olive Garden, the restaurant has shared the recipe to help pasta and football fans create the snackable pasta.

Here's how to do it:

1. Stack pre-cooked lasagna noodles on a cutting board.
2. Cut each sheet into 3 equal pieces.
3. Heat oil in a pan and gradually add chips to the oil; fry until crispy.
4. Transfer cooked chips to basket and allow the excess oil to drain for 1 minute.
5. Gently toss cooked chips in garlic salt to coat.
6. Add your favorite toppings

Taste touchdown!
