Ettore Boiardi was interested in cooking from a young age. By the time he was 11, he was peeling potatoes and taking out trash at a restaurant in his hometown of Piacenza, Italy. Then, at 16, he immigrated to the United States, arriving through Ellis Island in 1914.

He started working in New York's culinary industry, and within a year, he was the head chef at the Plaza Hotel. His food was so popular that people lined up down the block to get a taste, and he decided to start selling take-out meal kits that included enough dry spaghetti, Parmesan cheese, and tomato sauce to feed a family of four for 60 cents.
