Insights into Al Dente

Carmen Lee  
Picture beautiful ribbons of Italian tradition, canvases on which to create masterpieces of color and flavor. I mean, who doesn’t love pasta?
Thankfully, for pasta lovers and skeptics alike, I am starting a series that explores the world of pasta in its best form; al dente, meaning as perfectly prepared as possible. One company that has taken this technique to heart is the Ann Arbor based Al Dente Pasta whose creativity is unbounded, as seen in pasta varieties such as squid ink fettuccine and spicy sesame linguini. Monique, the founder of Al Dente, draws inspiration from travel and the local community. With an amazing amount of dedication and passion, she and her husband Dennis put modern twists on a wonderful tradition. This teamwork is more than a company – it’s a family. Managed by Monique’s sister, Al Dente has expanded nationwide, selling to cities across the country and even in Canada. People around the country get to enjoy the family’s fresh take on pasta. What a great way to pass on this beautiful tradition!

Is your mouth watering yet?

In this series, I will report all the latest and local happenings at Al Dente. I’ll even post step-by-step recipes of delicious dishes, so you can enjoy a taste of Italy in your own home. Keep on the lookout for future posts! If you’re not completely in love with pasta yet, you definitely will be soon.
