Named after Evelyn Overton, whose cheesecakes started the Cheesecake Factory, this pasta brings us history. Evelyn’s pasta consists of rigatoni tossed with broccoli, oven-dried tomatoes, zucchini, roasted eggplant, peppers, artichokes, kalamata olives, onions, garlic, and pine nuts. Plus, this pasta can easily be made vegan. Just ask for it with olive oil instead of butter and without cheese.
