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.
