Cavatelli Sciue Sciue 

At Amore & Limoncello Fulham – our cozy Italian restaurant on New King’s Road – we may be best known for our wood-fired Neapolitan pizza and our speciality Amalfi Style Scialatielli Pasta (often hailed the best in South West London). But this summer, our chefs are shining the spotlight on a different Southern Italian favorite: a classic pasta dish from Naples called Pasta Sciue Sciue.

Pasta Sciue Sciue is a quick Neapolitan pasta that highlights simple, fresh ingredients like cherry tomatoes, basil, and creamy mozzarella.

Pasta Sciue Sciue (pronounced “shway shway”) is as fun to eat as it is to say! The name literally translates to “hurry hurry” in the Neapolitan dialect, perfectly capturing the spirit of this beloved dish.

True to its name, this recipe comes together quickly in an improvisational way, and it’s bursting with summer flavour. In fact, Pasta Sciue Sciue is the perfect way to showcase sweet, ripe tomatoes and other fresh seasonal ingredients at their peak. Despite its simplicity, every bite delivers the sunny vibrance of Southern Italian cuisine.

A Burst of Summer Flavor – Our Ingredients

So, what makes our version of Pasta Sciue Sciue special? 

For our Summer Special, we’re serving this dish with homemade cavatelli pasta (made fresh in-house daily) alongside other high-quality ingredients. Here’s what you’ll find in each delightful bowl:

Homemade cavatelli pasta (freshly made by hand for perfect texture)

Sautéed shallots and garlic (for a flavorful aromatic base)

Juicy baby plum tomatoes (bursting with sweet summer ripeness)

Fragrant fresh basil leaves (torn to release their aroma)

Extra-virgin olive oil (to marry all the flavors together)

A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese (for a savory finishing touch)

Creamy buffalo mozzarella – added in uscita (at the end, off the heat, for a cool, silky finish)

All of these simple ingredients come together to create a dish that is light yet incredibly satisfying. We make our pasta fresh and add the mozzarella at the very end of cooking (in uscita), so it warms just enough to soften without completely melting – leaving you with luxurious pockets of creamy cheese in every bite. It’s a technique that mozzarella lovers will adore, and one taste will transport you straight to a trattoria in Naples.
