  • Yes, this is a type of pasta! And one you surely haven’t tried before. It’s called Su Filindeu, or the “threads of God.” Preparing it is so difficult and time-consuming that very few people still do it. Even celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has tried his hand at Su Filindeu before, but failed. The pasta is pulled into ultra-thin threads that could tear at any moment. The home of Su Filindeu is the city of Nuoro on the Italian island of Sardinia in the Mediterranean. There, one of the last locals who prepare this rare pasta revealed to us the secrets of the craft.

    We went to a class to learn how to do it in this particular town. I immediatelly learned why this takes months and possibly years to master.
    Nothing to do with Asian pulled noodles, for which you can find tons of youtube videos. This video doesn't show the reasom why this is so hard to make. The dough is extremelly dry and unforgiving. Those initial 4 or 8 strings will most likelly break as you pull. and you have to restart. But wait!! Before you restart, you have to rework your dough by hand to give it just barelly elasticity to get you started without breaking it. Then good luck reaching 16 strings!! You will get stuck repeating thise process over and over for hours beofore you maybe reach 32!! The speed and strenght with which you need to pull the dough is something that takes tons of practice to figure out. You guys just don't know what you are talking about. Superficially comparing this to the Asian pulled noodles because of the way the lool alike. Good luck pulling this dough as you would do on Asian pulled noodles.

    People in the comment section think that semolina flour is the same as wheat flour.
    ​​⁠Have you ever worked with semolina flour? It is extremely brittle especially at that stage of thickness, which is why it’s dryed and then broke apart. La Mian or most of the recipes of asian noodles are made with wheat flour which is rich of elastic gluten. I believe it is different and not the same. Shame on everybody who’s shitting on this awesome and rare tradition. Right now I’m in Sardegna and I’ll try to visit Nuoro to try this simple yet difficult plate

    I'm from this region of Italy 🌚 c'mon guys you know how many products are just "sanctified", like carbonara, pineapple on pizza or cheese on fish. We're not the most famous region so whenever we've got something unique let us brag about it :( . I'll look into the name since the n and i in Filindeu doesn't add up. "Thread of God" would be 'Filu de Deu' or 'Filu de Deus' in Sardinian, I'm not sure how it could become 'Filindeu', since the plural would be 'Filos de Deu(s)'. I'll look into it but the meaning of the name might be different than Threads of God 🤔

    It's mostly marketing... Asian noodles are just as varied (actually, more varied), depending on the country or sub-regions within a country. Fat, thin, hair-like, hand drawn, hand rolled, blade cut, There are soba noodle makers who spent their entire life making soba, go to any decent noodle shop in Northern China and you'll find someone pulling hair-like noodles by hand, using a variety of ingredients. This is done daily without fanfare and no pretense. It's simply a way of life and a mean of sustenance, it takes a lot of mastery, and at the same time, it's nothing special. Props to the Italians on taking their little sub noodle culture and market the heck out of it. :)

It's no surprise that not many people can learn it if the experts make you believe you won't be able to, all while stating that only a few are capable of making it. It's a clever way to self-promote and keep the circle of real experts small and exclusive.
