Specialty Food Association

Whitmore Lake, Michigan (Aug. 4, 2021) – Al Dente Pasta Company announces the arrival of Carba-Nada® Fusilli, a line extension to their popular reduced-carb pasta line, which is designed for those who enjoy the artisanal pasta eating experience yet seek a healthier pasta alternative.

According to Monique Deschaine, Al Dente Pasta Company founder, Carba-Nada allows people who are controlling their weight and carbohydrate intake to enjoy the same great taste and texture of regular pasta. “Fusilli is one of the pastas our enthusiastic consumers request most often,” said Deschaine. “We are beyond excited to offer the first short-shaped pasta in our line.”

Those enrolled in the Weight Watchers program, who experience diabetic symptoms, or are simply looking to reduce their carb intake can reignite their love of pasta with Carba-Nada Fusilli guilt free. With just 17 net carbs, 170 calories, and 15 grams of protein per serving, the Carba-Nada line provides a way for those who seek a healthy, active lifestyle to indulge in favorite, comfort food recipes. The short-shaped pasta has a cooking time of five minutes and is both non-GMO and Kosher certified.

"We have been overjoyed with our customers’ response to Carba-Nada since its introduction, making it the #1 selling fettuccine on Amazon," said Deschaine. "We have heard such wonderful testimonials from our diabetic fans, who state that they experience little or no impact to their blood sugars after enjoying Carba Nada. This is so good to hear and is another motivator toward a broader expansion of our reduced-carb pasta line."

The Carba-Nada line is now available in five varieties including egg fettuccine, basil fettuccine, roasted garlic fettuccini, lemon pepper fettuccine, and fusilli. All varieties are available nation-wide at fine retailers and have a recommended price of $4.29 per bag. All Al Dente products are also available for online purchase at both Amazon and the company’s own online store.
