Al Dente might not look like a superhero, but never underestimate the power of pasta.
Al Dente might not look like a superhero, but never underestimate the power of pasta.
The cleverly named Al Dente has a real love for pasta that causes him to run into trouble as he tries to find work. Automotive repair isn’t his thing as they don’t love the pasta he puts in the motor. Finally he uses pasta to save the day when he uses pasta to tie up some crooks which saves his family business
Pasta is popular all over Italy! It’s also the passion of the Dente family. The business is a fresh-pasta deli, but business, frankly, is slow. The neighbors in the town of Durum are ordering pizzas, not pasta. So their son, Al Dente, has a brilliant idea: the world’s first adjustable, portable, fresh-pasta maker. Unfortunately, he is no good at selling pasta door-to-door. But pasta, it turns out, is a remarkably adaptable food–ideal for catching crooks, saving children, and making heros.
