Bright tomato flavor with a clear garlic note and a touch of sweetness. Simple, but the sauce is better than most jarred versions and the pasta is cooked properly.
With 12 g of fat and 490 calories it is the lightest full entrée on the menu; the 1,290 mg of sodium is the number to watch.
Healthier alternative: Ask for the sauce light and skip the breadsticks to keep the meal near 400 calories.
“Underestimated. It is the cheapest way to eat at Olive Garden and the only entrée that is vegan as served. Add broccoli and you have a real meal.”
