Cooking Class in Nuoro: Learn how to make Seadas

I am Luca, born in Nuoro, and I am one of the very few people who still know how to make Filindeu. In Sardinian, it means “Threads of God,” and it is one of the oldest and most mysterious pastas in the culinary tradition of Nuoro. It is said that only a handful of people in the world are capable of carrying out this complex process, made up of ancient gestures passed down through generations. My connection with pasta goes back a long way. I am the youngest of four children and, as a child, I was always by my mother’s side, almost holding onto her skirt. When fresh pasta was made at home, I was the one, sometimes a bit reluctantly, turning the pasta machine. At the time, I could not imagine how important those moments would become for me. Today, I consider them a precious gift: they taught me patience, respect for raw ingredients, and the value of time shared together. For me, Filindeu is not just pasta: it is memory, identity, and future.
