About This Dish

Olive Garden Spaghetti with Meat Sauce is one of the most straightforward and reliable items on the catering menu, priced at $46.99 for a pan serving 4 to 6 guests. The base version delivers 2,840 calories with 88 grams of fat and 3,950 milligrams of sodium, making it the lightest catering pasta option in the Classic Entrées lineup. The meat sauce is Olive Garden's traditional homemade recipe made with pan-seared beef and Italian sausage, providing a deeply flavored tomato base that avoids the thin, watery consistency of lesser meat sauces. For guests who want more protein, the meatball addition brings the total to 4,550 calories, and the Italian sausage addition reaches 4,830 calories.

Olive Garden Spaghetti with Meat Sauce works as the foundation of any catering order because its lower calorie count and familiar flavor profile appeal to the widest range of guests. At $46.99 it is also the most budget-friendly pasta option among the catering entrées. The spaghetti is served with the meat sauce already combined in the pan, and the order pairs with Olive Garden's Famous House Salad and breadsticks for a complete group meal.
