The Pasta Pass is a VIP card that gives you unlimited access to the Never-Ending Pasta Bowl menu for 13 straight weeks.
The Cost: $100 (plus tax).What it Includes: The Pasta Pass includes 13 weeks of unlimited pasta, homemade sauces and protein toppings, accompanied by never-ending soup or salad and breadsticks. Passholders can enjoy early access to Never-Ending Pasta Bowl starting Aug. 24, and the promotion officially begins Aug. 31 to Nov. 22 — perfect for easy back-to-school dinners when I'm too tired to cook after working all day.The Catch? Only 10,000 passes are being released nationwide.My Strategy: How the $100 Pasta Pass Saves My Family Money
A standard Never-Ending Pasta Bowl starts at $14.99. If I buy the $100 Pasta Pass, my break-even point is exactly seven visits ($100 ÷ $14.99=6.67). That means everything after that 7th visit is practically free money — and that's not even girl math, that's actually a really good deal.
The Weekly Family Dinner: We try to do one family dinner out a week. Normally, my meal at Olive Garden would cost $14.99. With the pass, my meal is $0. Over 13 weeks, that saves us $194.87 on my entrees alone. Subtract the $100 pass cost, and I am up $94.87 for the promotion time period.The Kids' Menu Math: Because my meal is completely covered, I only have to pay for my kids' meals (around $6.99 each, and that includes a free side and kids' drink). That means I can feed myself and two kids at Olive Garden for about $14 plus tip. You can barely get fast food for that price anymore.
You can stretch this pass even further if you know how to work the menu. Let me explain:

Can You Share the Olive Garden Pasta Pass? (And Other Fine Print)
The pass is strictly valid for the named cardholder only. You cannot order endless bowls of pasta and pass them across the table to your kids or your spouse. Doing so will get your pass revoked (and as moms, let's be real, we don't have time for that!).
