TikTok is a treasure trove of endless content, but with so much to sift through, it can be overwhelming to find exactly what you’re looking for—especially when it comes to food inspiration. One of the most exciting corners of TikTok is its collection of recipe “dupes.” These are creative, at-home recreations of popular restaurant dishes that let you indulge in your favorite meals for a fraction of the cost. Today, we’re diving into some of the best pasta dupes on TikTok, from Olive Garden’s iconic Fettuccine Alfredo to Panera’s Mac and Cheese. Let’s explore how you can bring these restaurant-quality dishes to life in your own kitchen.

Olive Garden Fettucine Alfredo

This dish starts with a pile of cheese and only gets better from there. @SnackQween uses a grater like this to make that tasty-looking pile of parmesan and romano cheeses. If you only have a box grater make sure you give yourself extra time (and you might need an arm massage after). One commenter noted that Olive Garden uses a pinch of nutmeg in their sauce while another recommended a bit of white pepper. SnackQween – also known as Jen Curley is also on Instagram posting about all things food and family.

Maggiano’s Little Italy Gnocchi with Italian Sausage

You’ll swear you can smell the Italian sausage searing when you watch @Shala_In_The_Kitchen put this one together. Not only does the dish come together beautifully, but she has the video set to music that creates a soothing vibe. And she shares her look of satisfaction when she takes her first bite. Shala posts lots of original and dupe recipes including everything from Udon Noodle Soup to Pecan Pie.

Cheesecake Factory Louisiana Chicken Pasta

The Louisiana Chicken Pasta is a very popular dish at Cheesecake Factory and surprisingly not as hard to recreate as you might think. @Everything_Delish whips through the recipe quickly on TikTok but the full recipe can be found on her Instagram here and she has a full website with tons of recipes here.

Panera Bread Mac and Cheese

@MomLifeWithLaura makes this one look extremely easy but it truly doesn’t have a lot of ingredients – just some deliciously decadent ones. Panera’s version is made with aged white cheddar cheese sauce. In this TikTok version, Grey Poupon is mixed in to give it the tangy note of the aged cheese. And it looks almost identical to the original! You can also find Laura on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook making dupe recipes and other parenting content.

PANERA BREAD MAC N’ CHEESE DUPE! Recipe: Ingredients: Kosher salt 12 ounces dried medium shells pasta 8 ounces white cheddar cheese 8 slices white American cheese (4 1/2 ounces) 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon mustard 3 cups whole milk 1/2 cup heavy cream Directions: 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 12 ounces medium shells pasta and cook until al dente according to package instructions. 2. Meanwhile, grate 8 ounces white cheddar cheese on the large holes of a box grater (about 2 cups). Tear or chop 8 slices white American cheese into small pieces (1 cup). 3. When the pasta is ready, drain. Melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon mustard and stir to combine. While whisking constantly, slowly pour in 3 cups whole milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Boil, stirring frequently, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 4 to 6 minutes. 4. Reduce the heat to low. Add the white cheddar cheese and American cheese one handful at a time, stirring until each handful is melted before adding the next. 5. Add the pasta and stir to combine. Taste and season with more salt as needed. Recipe from @thekitchn #dupes #dupealert #asmr #dupe #cookingathome #diy #panerabread #macncheese #momlife #momsoftiktok
