Al Dente was founded by Monique Deschaine, who grew up in France and relished in the three-hour Sunday ritual of making lunch with her grandparents. When she moved to America, she witnessed the “Pasta Revolution” in New York City in the 80’s, which pushed American demand for fresh pasta. So, in 1981, Monique launched her own pasta company, Al Dente. Al Dente started from very humble beginnings: Monique and her husband, Dennis, would make the pasta in the evenings, pray it would dry by morning, and write handwritten labels before making personal deliveries to local customers. The company grew strictly by word-of-mouth advertising as friends and family started trying – and loving – Monique’s small batch, artisanal pasta. Soon, her pasta became famous across the nation for its fresh taste and 3-minute cooking time! Today, Al Dente is about more than just pasta; it’s about a way of life that fosters a connection with loved ones, with our community, and with our planet.
