About This Dish

Kids Meat Sauce Pasta at Olive Garden is a kid-sized pasta plate with the restaurant's housemade meat sauce, priced at $6.99 for children under 12. Children choose their preferred pasta shape, and the full combination with side and milk ranges from 305 to 570 calories. The meat sauce itself adds 110 calories per serving — made with pan-seared ground beef and Italian sausage combined into a fresh tomato base. Protein add-ons are also available at additional cost.

Of the three tomato-based kids' pasta options (marinara, tomato, and meat sauce), the meat sauce is the most substantial — the beef-and-sausage combination provides both protein and a more filling meal compared to the vegetarian tomato or marinara options. The kid-portioned serving maintains the same sauce recipe but is scaled for children's appetites. At $6.99 with a custom pasta shape choice, it is a flexible and cost-effective option that mirrors the adult Create Your Own Pasta approach in a kids' format.
