Guest Chef Night with Chef Michela Tartaglia of Pasta Casalinga

Please join us as we welcome Chef Michela Tartaglia of Pasta Casalinga for a special evening as we celebrate our students, build community and enjoy an incredible meal. Guest Chef Night pairs premier local chefs with FareStart students to create a three-course meal served by volunteers. All revenue and donations from Guest Chef Night support FareStart’s job training and placement programs.

Chef Michela is an Italian native, born in the province of Turin, Piedmont. She moved to Seattle in 2006 and has since made Seattle her adopted city. She is a chef by heart more than by trade. She co-founded Pasta Casalinga, an intimate lunch spot in the heart of Pike Place Market. Since its opening in 2018, it has become a destination for locals and visitors alike. In 2023, Chef Michela published her first cookbook, “Pasta For All Seasons,” which features 50 seasonal recipes that showcase the best of Northwest seafood, produce and meat in creative, deeply satisfying pasta dishes.
