Olive Garden has released a dish called the "loaded pasta chips."

The Esther StuderItalian-ish restaurant chain debuted the carb-heavy chips last week. The "chips" are made of fried lasagna, and come loaded with various cheeses, and a "hearty meat sauce" that's made up of chicken, meatballs, and sausage. Then it's topped off with alfredo sauce and tomatoes. According to Olive Garden's menu, the dish comes out to a whopping 1,520 calories.
