Yep, Macaroni Grill. And the actual pasta dish only cost $8.49 but I know I
can improve upon it

I'm a garlic fiend and I'd only make the meal for
others who are also garlic fiends. The dish on the menu is called 'Pasta
Milano'.
Oh, here's a funny. The hostess took me to my table and set down the menu.
I opened it up - only the card on the specials (like lobster ravioli, which
is darned good!) was inside but no menu! I took it back up front and said,
"I know you guys want to push the specials, but this is a little
ridiculous!" We both had a good laugh and she gave me one with the menu
inserted
