Well it makes sense. I don't want to make pasta like this. Most people don't want to. A company will only do it if it makes money. So there's only left art to keep it alive.
I don’t lose sleep over it. Regardless of whatever thing humans lose, something else will replace it eventually, only to become obsolete……. And then someone goes and rediscovers it. There’s not a whole lot of uniqueness in the universe, only the virtue and character of the soul.
6 years ago in a TV show about food around the world there was an episode about Sardinia and they showed this magnificent pasta. In that show they talked about only a few women in one village that knows how to make it and it looked like this pasta is going to disappear soon. It is so heart warming to see that people are making an effort to keep this tradition alive. I never had the chance to taste this pasta but it makes me happy that this tradition is spreading and there is hope for it. Thank you, the people that do this work, and those who made this video.
@@vn8600 it is pasta, but different manufacturing methods give very different textures and mouthfeel. That's why experiencing ravioli feels different from linguini or farfalle and so on.
yea really, the guy's struggling with how to share the technique with people so the craft is not lost forever, and there are literally thousands of ways to do it online, youtube and instructables probably being amongst the best ways. it's like the people in eastern mediterranean freaking out about having too many blue crabs and not knowing what to do with them. boy would i love to have that problem.
It's basically just that thousand strand pasta from China dried in a different way. It isn't sharing the information, it's getting people to take the time and do it.
It’s better to print it in a book in case the internet isn’t available. It’s always better to have a physical copy of something when you can because if the internet or electricity becomes (god forbid) unavailable the only way to access any of the information would be a physical copy.
Wish they went into how it eats - it seems like it had a very springy texture. They also didn't really go into any of the dishes it's used in - it just looked like nondescript broths.
It’s a simple religious dish. There is really only one way to eat it. It sounds like you’d just make a simple broth and cook the pasta in it. Extremely. Simple. It was a dish served to religious pilgrims, penitent people, seeking to connect with a saint. It’s not fancy.
I chuckled at that. Lamb broth would be a more accurate English translation, I’ve never heard anyone use the term Sheep broth before but I certainly will be now.
I saw this pasta originally on the Pasta Grannies - a couple of British women traveling Italy and documenting rare pastas. I hope to get to try it someday.
Thank you. The fact he literally cites St. francis and a vow of poverty in relation to his pasta then cuts to one of the most expensive and exclusive restaurants in America is pretty much a slap in the face. Seriously though how dumb are people to take these videos seriously. I kind of wamt the pasta to die away so I don't have to listen to celebrities talk about it for the next 50 years
This. This is exactly why Sardinians are so secretive about their traditions. Because so many of our crafts are sacred, and arent't meant to be tainted with money, but as soon as the knowledge of the craft leaves the island it gets slandered by ruthless people that just care about money! For goodness sake we can't even make our herbal medicine anymore because pharmacists from all over the world would constantly try to steal our recipes and our endemic herbs! And now there are only a few families that still do them (and they never ask for money in return), and these recipes risk dying with them because they're rightly afraid to spread the knowledge to the wrong person, who would just sell the recipes and destroy our environment too by overforaging rare herbs.
This is a heartwarming story and Luca is a true bro for helping to keep the tradition alive. The pasta is so unique, I don’t think you need to worry that its origins will be forgotten as (I hope) folks would seek information about it as they encounter it. Bravo!
I understand that that’s how it seems but Italy has a tradition of protecting crafts. Music, shoe making, weaving whatever it is artisans and experts always taught this orally to a select amount of students. Guarding the particular wisdoms they had from outsiders. It might seem silly but it comes from a place of looking for financial safety from a time where information wasn’t free and abundant like it is now. By protecting the knowledge of the trade people protected their livelihoods.
@@hansmemling2311 Yeah no, it's ridiculous and pointless to gatekeep something. Keeping the tradition alive is more important than your elitism at wanting to feel "special" for being one of the only ones who know how to make it.
@@WobblesandBean I mean, financial safety makes a lot of sense to me. Here's the thing tho, you don't NEED this either. It's just something you want, which isn't necessary.
This would be perfect for Santa Fe, New Mexico. We have the Basilica to Saint Francis and there are weaving traditions here from the local Pueblos Indians(yes, that is how they call themselves, please no snark) and historic Spanish traditions. Hope someone brings it here.
I believe this is some of the best content on the internet !! Educational, inspiring, culturally rich and diverse; is just incredibly well done and fascinating as well ! Thank you for the incredible work. 👏
I read all the comments below, and apart from a few and the ones of Luca's daughter, I'm really speechless of how much ignorance there is around the world. People talking about Sardinian languange as a dialect or saying that because of its religous origin this pasta is too complicated to be kept... damn... are you guys serious. I'm from Sardinia and I've been making pasta since I was 6 years old with my grandma... these are things that can not be explained if you don't live such experiences. I wanted to learn making Filindeu and tried many times alone, then I met a friend of Luca, which showed me how to do, but I still don't master the technique. I also made those that you call Chinese noodles (doing them easily). I can assure you, if you don't understand the difference between semolina flour and all purpose flour, then all what you're talking about is useless. Apart from if it tastes good or not, if it is Chinese or from somwhere else, it's a technique of an artisanal crafting, that needs to kept alive-if you're not from this island in the Mediterranean sea, how would you understand what makes it so special... you just see it as simple pasta..., an italian version of the Chinese noodles, too complicated to be done for just a simple dish... please, don't just comment because you don't have anything better to do.
Venice and Sardinië are the two places I want to visit in Italy really bad. Venice because my favourite composer is from there and Sardinia because it looks magical and culturally rich to me.
Was thinking this too. It’s a shame to see that it looks like it’s primarily men profiting off of this financially, and it’s weird to me that this seemed to be glossed over.
I think its poetic that the Pasta that welcomed traveling pilgrims seeking a religious awakening, as the penitent have dwindled, the Pasta has grown legs to go find those who seek Salvation.
Bravo for keeping this tradition alive !! it looks so delicious !! I'm so curious about the texture of the pasta must be really really nice in the mouth :)
If this was something of an online class to take. I would 100% wanna learn. I love learning new skills and food is my heart. I hope this catches on and the craft of making it continues on.
I think he more or less taught himself. Found out bits an pieces from various women, but never the whole thing. Remembered what he saw his mom do growing up, etc. That's what it seems to me to mean when they say he "took matters into his own hands".
This is the kind of thing that I would relish in a restaurant because it's too difficult for me to learn myself. As opposed to eating something like a steak in a restaurant which is so ridiculously easy to make at home
@@kishisetasama Its not that noodles chinese eating, which I don't like at all. The italian Pasta is another thing. it is so difficult to understand and respect the traditions and cultures of other countries. People are so stupid caught up in globalization that they don't realize that everywhere in the world things are different. or the Chinese taken by their imperialism believed they had invented everything ! closed in their obtuseness mind when the truth is that they went from being a poor, agricultural country after the Second World War to capitalism exploiting low-cost single-manpower, hard work imitating Western technology and falsifying each of our products. And there is still a clear divide between China's coastal cities and inland cities
As a pasta lover, I feel unworthy to do eat this pasta. There is so much heart and soul and history put into this pasta; I feel bad eating it as if some ordinary dish.
There might be different varieties of wheat, different grinding methods and so on, but yeah, it’s just pasta/noodles. So long as the person eating likes the dish, it’s all good at the end of the day.
They can say they dont want it being taught in foreign countries, that it will take away from the tradition. But where is the tradition if the pasta is left where it is? How much longer until everyone who knows about the tradition, dies. Let a piece of that tradition survive.. The pasta.
This is still made in Central/Western Part of Indian Villages and not called pasta but a type of Vermicelli - by hand in Villages and Almost extinct !!
These guys are just interested in doing human interest stories over actually giving relevant information about things. They didn't even say how it is different to eat or what to serve it with.
You want to keep this tradition and ancient pasta alive, you must share it along with it's history. There is so much that is involved that it will never be over produced thus keeping it's special aqualities. For those beyond the borders of Italy, but want to bring this tradition with them, would it not make sense for Italian churches to host these events to enjoy this meal semi-annually? For young people to really fall in love with this craft, create workshops and introduce them to CHILDREN. Our children who are alive now will see the fall of capitalism. Not only that, if you create workshops and activities for both parents and their children, you will bring this back to life. No one understands that there is a counter culture happening where people are realizing the older ways of life are resurging. The modernization of our culture wsa agian a sort of counter culture as well. Society has a tendency to go to the extremes because because it's new. We are literally using our modern technology to learn how to make traditional stuff with traditional techniques. There's a charm and something healing when you make something with your hands. Why do you think cooking is still around instead of going to the convenience store or relaying on someone else or just nutrition pellets. There's something healing when you make something by hand. You want young people, make it easy for them to stumble into it. That's how you breathe life into old practices. It's not that we don't appreciate old wisdom, it's the fact that we want old wisdom to make sense to us while everyone is navigating these fast paces, innovative, and rapidly changing modern days.
I understand the confusion. I think he’s being careful not to break any so that he breaks as little as possible. The few that break are unavoidable. However if he wasn’t doing it carefully a lot more would break. I think that’s what she means.
It's thinner than Chinese noodles. It is probably almost as thin as what is called as misua here where I live. They use semolina not wheat flour as well.
There's a similar kind of food that's stretched like this repeatedly called 馓子, it's a type of Uyghur street food, the thing gets stretched like you see in the video and then deep fried just like that. One side will have it all joined together. I have no idea what this is called in English and I have never seen it being eaten outside of China.
@@rbhe357 You have to know most people that make these sort of comments A) haven't actually watched the whole video and B) are just absolutely genuine with them - and awful. Can't really pick up that facetious tone in a TH-cam comment.
I thought this was going to be some super skinny pasta dish, but it's weird the way they dry it it basically makes sheets. Doesn't seem like there's really much secrecy in it, 256 strands, you fold and pull 8 times and you're there, the technique I'm sure is to get to to stretch without breaking.
6:00 when you begin a kitchen or cooking job, does the employer have to pay for the tattoos or do you have to file your full-sleave insurance beforehand?
Strange how our society struggles to find any middle ground between total disappearance and disgusting over-commodification.
It's like liking a new music. You keep listening to it alot in the beginning then you start to hate it, then later on it bounces back to normalish.
Well it makes sense. I don't want to make pasta like this. Most people don't want to. A company will only do it if it makes money. So there's only left art to keep it alive.

I have no idea what this is called in English and I have never seen it being eaten outside of China.
I am wondering does it taste any different?
I think it's not so much about taste but more about texture.
What kind of flavor does the asphodel give the pasta?
As thin as a strand of hair? That's some thick-ass hair
Amazing. Kick the Bucket Pasta.🎉
I have never seen this noodle and I didn't know that Italians made noodle dishes that looked like soup/ramen noodles
Chinese people does this for desert look it up. You go to myeongdong in South Korea some vendor does this for deserts.
It's the same process as making dragons beard candy. Stretch, fold, stretch, fold. Every time you fold you double the layers.
5:33 "and beyond"? Aliens gotta eat, I suppose!
7:06 seems like a lot of work for noodle soup.
go look up bird's nest soup.
The noodle soup isn't the point of making it.
@@somefreshbread Ever notice how some people can't pick up on sarcasm? I know, I saw the same video you did.
@@rbhe357 You have to know most people that make these sort of comments A) haven't actually watched the whole video and B) are just absolutely genuine with them - and awful. Can't really pick up that facetious tone in a TH-cam comment.
@@somefreshbread Fair enough, lol.
I LOVE THAT IT CAN ONLY BE MADE BY HUMAN HANDS......I am so sick of machines taking away jobs.
I would like to learn that weaving
Basket Weaving 101 🤭
unnecessarily complicated, beautiful when dry, very ugly after cooked.
I thought this was going to be some super skinny pasta dish, but it's weird the way they dry it it basically makes sheets. Doesn't seem like there's really much secrecy in it, 256 strands, you fold and pull 8 times and you're there, the technique I'm sure is to get to to stretch without breaking.
Pretty cool. Wondering how they know it’s the oldest?
Smooth like velvet? Aren’t those the opposite of each other? 2:16
It's very common in chinese restaurants
It’s a brave man that goes against the Nonnas! ❤😅
6:00 when you begin a kitchen or cooking job, does the employer have to pay for the tattoos or do you have to file your full-sleave insurance beforehand?
I wonder if it can be deep fried in oil or air fried? It may be very crispy!
if you fry it you'll get instant noodle bricks
Like an elephant ear or churro 🤤
My grandmother make same thing at home in India it's not rare
А сделать прямоугольные подносы не пришла идея?
Method is so similar to the traditional La Mian hand pulled noodles you have to wonder if there were any cross cultural exchange back in the day.
anyone can think about pulling dough into thin strands
