If you’re a regular at the Olive Garden, the restaurant chain has a special you won’t want to miss: the chain is bringing back its “Pasta Pass” that gives you unlimited pasta for seven weeks. The passes go on sale Thursday.

There’s an added wrinkle: This year, you can purchase a pass that allows friends and family to join in the pasta consumption, too.
