SARDINIA, ITALY – Today we have the once in a lifetime opportunity to spend time with Paola Abraini, one of just three people on earth who have mastered the art of making su filindeu – a pasta that’s from the mountains of Sardinia. We’ll learn and get a demonstration of exactly how she makes it, get to try making it ourselves, and then we’ll eat it the traditional way they eat this rare pasta in Sardinia!

Also known as Threads of God, Su Filindeu is the rarest pasta in the world, and something only three people on earth can actually make correctly. Chef’s around the world have tried to make it, but failed. And something I found very interesting is one of the biggest Italian pasta manufacturers tried to make a machine to produce it, and they also failed.
To make Su Filindeu, Paola first made the dough and had to knead it and stretch it into the right texture. She did many test pulls and it kept feeling the dough until perfect. The strategy take 8 pulls on the dough to create 256 threads, of the smallest noodles you can imagine – almost the thickness of your hair.
After stretching out the noodles, they are laid out and dried and cut into bite sized pieces. The noodles are then cooked the traditional way with mutton broth and a special sheep cheese from Sardinia.
It was truly something unique and special, and being able to meet Paola was a true honor!
