For the past two weeks, my mom has been going on about pasta “sciue sciue,” so I decided to make it for her finally. In Neapolitan dialect, “sciue sciue” translates to “hurry hurry.” This pasta dish uses shallots, garlic, cherry tomatoes, basil, and parmigiano. That’s it! It is a simple dish that comes together in about 15/20 minutes, yet in my opinion, it’s one of the best. You’ll have to make it yourself and be the judge.
Here’s a video with some further explanation!
La Pasta “Sciue Sciue”
A quick and easy pasta dish that you'll want to make over and over again!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp EV olive oil
- 1 shallot, finally sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, whole
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes
- 1 lb pasta of choice, I love bucatini here
- Handful of fresh basil
- ½ cup parmigiano cheese, plus more for serving
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the shallots, garlic and cherry tomatoes. Give a gentle stir and allow the tomatoes to cook until they begin to pop (about 5 minutes). Put a lid over the tomatoes and lower heat to medium low.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Generously salt the water and add in pasta. Cook 1-2 minutes under al dente. *Save pasta water.
- Add the pasta to the tomatoes. Give a light toss. Add about ½ cup pasta water, basil and parmigiano cheese. We’ll toss the pasta for 1-2 minutes until the pasta sauce begins to thicken.
- Serve with fresh basil and parmigiano
