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!
Friends in the video:
Edoardo Celadon (@MostOfItaly www.mostofitaly.com/) - Huge thank you to Edoardo who can arrange you the best and most authentic food experiences throughout Italy!

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!

She’s been doing it for 50 years and she still has so much joy and pride in her craft. Amazing people.

[@cristinamarmonti6511]

So greatful to Mark for showing every side and shade of Italian cuisine. Whenever I ask my friends what they think of Italian food they only know about pizza and pasta (only the most famous pastas probably like carbonara) not knowing that basically every single town has its own cuisine. Loving this series starting from Milano regional dishes which often get ignored till the beautiful and diverse Sardegna. Amazing work!

[@denisasterba8918]

I am sorry your friends are ignorant

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you very much, appreciate it. And this is definitely just scratching the surface of the regional dishes of Italy. So much more!

[@giorgiagerbi9053]

The first time I see a foreign vlogger showing the inner sides of regional italian cuisine culture, so happy to see you appreciate sardinian genuine dishes. I love it thanks a lot❤

FOR ME, MARK’S THE ONLY BLOGGER WHO REALLY GIVES THE REAL VALUE FOR EVERY SINGLE FOOD HE ATE. NOT ONLY THE TASTE, THE CONDIMENTS, THE PREPARATION BUT THE INTRISEC VALUE OF EVERY DISH. THANKS MARK!!!!!

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you, appreciate your support!

[@MrEiht]

WHY YOU SCREAM?

[@goldenage]

Not sure how long this tradition will last, so thank you for documenting it Mark!

[@fran-js8ve]

These are some of the most enjoyable videos Mark has produced so far. Best food travel channel for me.

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you, appreciate your incredible support.

[@rosapanther8466]

I feel like Sardinia is always really under presented in the foodie-world...so thanks Mark for reaching out and show us this absolutely lovely Woman, who is a real food-artist!!❤

[@MarkWiens]

Thank you very much, yes agreed. I wish I would have had more time in Sardinia to explore more!

[@ehawk6838]

When Mark said: "I'm still trying to comprehend that." I started tearing up. Such a humble man, such a great person. I wish I could live his life.

[@shannondore]

I agree with Jeffrey that lady is making art not just pasta. That segment reminded me of my mom who would make her own pasta and she would have the pasta laying all over the kitchen drying. It would be on the table, chairs, cabinets, there wasn't a spot anywhere in that kitchen that didn't have pasta laying all over it.🍝😆

[@christianeaspacher9043]

Nonna' s smile is just great! She is indeed very talented and she knows it! Bravissimo!

[@AlbertoCossu80]

I am a proud 43 years old Sardinian and Mark, I am so impressed you got to find this gem and film it in such a beautiful and dedicated way, as you always do. Our land is a misterious and ancestral land, essential and poetic, and you managed to capture it and sync to it. Your work is oustanding, I have followed most of your videos and learned from your tips even if I am Italian. I will go to Cibreo after seeing your video even if my partner is from Florence. I will go and try the Filindeu even if I'm Sardinian. I have known Roscioli in Rome thanks to you, even if I go there 3-4 times a year. That's what you do, you teach even to italian foodies, like me. Chapeau

[@blardymunggas6884]

This may be considered a gem in Sardinia but this is so normal in China. Any street noodle shop in China makes this everyday as a cheap eat. After all Marco Polo learned how to make pasta from China. In China I see them making pulled noodle like this in few seconds. No drama.

[@6kzj]

Mark Wiens has been to china himself, but he appreciated this art and so can you. peace@@blardymunggas6884

[@nzmarco]

And get food poisoned. No thanks@@blardymunggas6884

[@dominocweber9763]

A machine is a cold hard piece of equipment. An engineer is the creator of the cold hard machine. This woman has a soul in which she gives to her pasta. No machine could ever replicate that.

[@AussieAngeS]

You’re a fantastic guy Mark, always highly respectful of good and culture. I’ve been watching you for years and each video is just as amazing as the others. Love Paola she is definitely a special lady 🥰

[@Speedy300]

The pasta is the bread and with the wine at the end represent the eucharist (taking communion) and that’s why people make the pilgrimage to be there and eat this dish. Love the symbolism in their food! 25:54

WOW!!! What a blessing. This was great to learn about. Thank you Mark and family for sharing. ❤❤❤

[@user-vo9xu8dn1d]

Your videos are very educational. In my travels in Italy, Sardinia, Corsica, Sicily, I have never heard of a pasta like this one. I have seen people in Italy and China make hand made noodles that are thin. But the noodles that the lady made, I've never seen that. Pasta of the Gods. Soup of the Gods. Dinner of the Gods. What you, Ying, and your friends ate, you cannot buy for love or money. I now will look into that Sardinian farm stead. I want to have the rarest pasta also!!! That woman is a national treasure!!!

[@nasiraman83]

Yet another wonderful Vlog! Thanks Mark for exploring Italian cuisine❤

Mark has a truly unique ability to describe the taste of food in a way that makes it sound like it doesn't taste good, like how he described the su filendeo dish here.

I would literally pay good money for this experience!! I absolutely love cheese stews and tender meats with veggies especially on a cold chilly day. That crisscross pasta is one of a kind and the local authentic fresh cheese compliments each other perfectly. The tender mutton with garden herbs & veggies is mouthwatering worthy as well.

Italian food is indeed considered to be one of the top three cuisines of the world, along with Indian and I can’t remember which, but it isn’t French, although some think so. I believe it’s Chinese.
