America’s largest premium QSR Italian chain tests Impossible® meat sauce in Spaghetti and Baked Spaghetti dishes at all five locations in hometown of Lexington

December 16, 2019 // Franchising.com // LEXINGTON - The wait is finally over … Fazoli’s - the brand known for menu innovation - will debut Impossible® meat sauce in a test at all five restaurants in its hometown - Lexington, Kentucky.

Starting Dec. 16, Fazoli’s will incorporate Impossible® meat - made from Impossible® Burger, a plant-based meat made from potatoes and soy - into two classic Italian menu items. For a limited time, guests can enjoy these delectable dishes - along with Fazoli’s famous unlimited breadsticks:

• Impossible Spaghetti - A bed of hearty spaghetti topped with new Impossible® meat sauce - made with ground Impossible® burger meat - vine-ripened tomatoes, garlic and basil. (Vegan)
• Impossible Baked Spaghetti - A bed of hearty spaghetti topped with new Impossible® meat sauce - made with ground Impossible® burger meat - vine-ripened tomatoes, garlic and basil, topped with Mozzarella cheese and baked for added indulgence. (Vegetarian)

Director of Culinary Innovation Rick Petralia said Fazoli’s worked on developing a plant-based meat that tastes great to everyone, including meat lovers. The always innovative and evolving Italian chain found that the Impossible® meat sauce both responds to its guests’ ever-changing lifestyle needs and stays true to delivering on the craveable flavors the brand is known for.

“As the first Italian brand to capitalize on plant-based Impossible® meat sauce, we knew we needed a product that didn’t just taste good for being a plant-based product,” Petralia said. “We wanted a product that would taste indistinguishable from beef and be delicious to everyone who tried it. You can’t taste the difference between our meat sauce and the Impossible® meat sauce. As we continue to innovate our menu to match the changes in our guests’ lifestyles, we’ve created a product that everyone will love. Now, we can reach a wider audience because we have a delectable menu full of items that will satisfy everyone who walks through our doors.”

These Impossible® Spaghetti and Impossible® Baked Spaghetti dishes are available at Lexington locations only. For locations, hours, menus and more information, visit fazolis.com.
