About This Dish

Kids Rotini with Meat Sauce (Gluten Sensitive) at Olive Garden is the heartier of the two gluten-sensitive kids' pasta options, priced at $6.99 for children under 12. The meal features kid-sized gluten-free corn-and-rice rotini pasta tossed with the restaurant's housemade meat sauce — the same pan-seared ground beef and Italian sausage tomato sauce used across the adult menu. A choice of side (grapes or broccoli) and 1% low-fat milk complete the plate. Breadsticks are not included to maintain the gluten-sensitive format but are available upon request.

For children who need a wheat-free pasta option but still prefer a meaty, satisfying sauce over straight tomato, this is the clearest choice in the kids' gluten-sensitive section. The meat sauce provides protein naturally within the sauce, making this the most complete nutrition package of the two kids' gluten-sensitive pasta options at $6.99. The familiar pasta-and-meat-sauce format also makes it the most likely accepted meal for children transitioning to a gluten-sensitive diet who are accustomed to standard pasta preparations.
