Pasta Serafina
Learn to Make Amazing Pasta
Welcome to Pasta Serafina
Formerly known as Pasta Bella San Diego, Pasta Serafina is my heart-led journey into the art of handmade pasta, now rooted in Oregon’s lush Willamette Valley.
I’m Melissa, and I created this space to inspire creativity, connection, and curiosity through pasta made by hand and shared in good company.
Each workshop feels like stepping into the kitchen of an old friend—rolling, shaping, and savoring pasta together while making new memories. Whether you're brand new or a seasoned foodie, I invite you to slow down and rediscover the joy of creating something beautiful—by hand, by heart, and in community.
Upcoming Experiences
Flour-dusted tables. Shared laughter. Wine poured slowly.

The Instructor
Melissa
My passion for pasta started by accident—sparked by a cookbook I found in a bookstore. What followed was years of experimenting, failing, learning, and ultimately working as a professional pasta maker.
But the real magic happened at home—surrounded by friends who didn’t just want dinner, they wanted in. That’s how my workshops began in 2016, under the name Pasta Bella.
Today, in the Willamette Valley, I continue that tradition as Pasta Serafina, teaching with joy, creativity, and deep respect for fresh ingredients. I invite you to get messy, slow down, and roll with me.
