Tempt My Tummy Tuesday

So We have been to Carrabba's a few times. I even got a gift card from my dear friend Pegan at my baby shower.
We have had no luck at the restaurant. I love their bread but never like the dishes I order for some reason. I'd just rather eat somewhere else for the amount of the dish, quality, how packed the restaurant is, the wait... etc. I'd rather go to Logan's or Rosie's. But sometimes my church caters Carrabba's and they always have some type of Pasta, Salad and Chicken Marsala and its to die for!

and does anyone know the Olive Oil dipping sauce recipe they use to dip their bread in before the meal comes out?

Maybe something like this?
just tap a little of these items in a mortar and pestle and then ground away to desired consistincy.
all dried herbs.
rosemary
oregano
basil
garlic powder or fresh
onion powder just a little of this if desired
hot pepper flakes
parmesean cheese the can kind works the best. I hate it but for this it is drier.
balsamic vinegar. just a small amount
I actually use cheap balsamic and boil it down till it is half, that makes it thicker and sweeter. not as tangy! Like the expensive balsamic
