Domino's Italian Sausage Marinara Pasta — Price, Sizes & Calories (October 2026)

If alfredo is the rich option, this is the balanced one. A tomato-based marinara carries acidity that cuts through the cheese, and the vegetables add texture that a cream sauce version simply doesn't have. For anyone who finds alfredo heavy after half a tray, this is the pasta to order.

Italian sausage is the defining ingredient. Fennel-forward, coarsely crumbled, and seasoned enough to flavour the sauce around it as it bakes. Green peppers and onions soften but keep a little structure, and the cheese layer on top browns in the oven.

Ordering notes

Ask for extra cheese if you like a properly browned top — the standard amount melts into the sauce rather than forming a distinct layer. Some operators will also add crushed red pepper into the mix on request, which suits the sausage well.

Marinara-based pasta reheats better than cream-based. Tomato sauce doesn't split or thicken the way alfredo does, so leftovers hold up genuinely well in a microwave or a covered pan.

Nutrition compared to alfredo

Meaningfully lighter. Swapping cream for tomato removes a substantial chunk of the saturated fat and a couple of hundred calories per tray, and the vegetables add fibre. It's still a substantial meal — sausage brings its own fat and sodium — but as pasta choices go it's the more moderate one.

A good bundle component

This works particularly well as the second item in a two-for structure alongside a meat-heavy pizza, because the acidity gives your palate somewhere to go. Two rich items in one order gets tiring by the end. One rich, one bright is a better meal.
