Best Pasta Bowl Combinations and Tips

The right strategy lets you get the most out of every round. Start light, go rich in the middle, and pace yourself. Browse the full classic entrées menu to understand each pasta's regular price.

1

The Classic

Start here on your first bowl. Fettuccine coats in Alfredo better than any other shape.

2

The Meat Lover

Rigatoni + Meat Sauce + Italian Sausage

Rigatoni holds chunky meat sauce in every tube. Add Italian sausage for maximum protein per bowl.

3

Light and Fresh

Angel Hair + Traditional Marinara

Angel hair with marinara keeps it light so you can go more rounds. Skip toppings on this bowl.

4

The Rich Round

Spaghetti + Five Cheese Marinara + Crispy Chicken Fritta

Order this as your second bowl. The five cheese sauce feels like a completely different meal after the lighter first round.
