Giada De Laurentiis Says It's 'the Perfect Season' for Her Tart & Buttery Pound Cake

“Giada’s family has been making Pasta Sciue Sciue for as long as she can remember — her Nonno used to make it for her mom and sisters, and then her parents made it when she was a kid,” the Giadzy posted on Instagram . Sciue Sciue (pronounced “shway shway”) means “hurry hurry” because the recipe comes together so fast. “Made with ripe tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, it’s perfect for summer,” they added.

De Laurentiis demonstrates how to make the recipe in the accompanying video, revealing that she has “carried on the tradition” and makes it for her daughter Jade, 16, “all summer long.” De Laurentiis picks fresh tomatoes from her garden, then cooks the pasta. In a heavy large skillet, she pours oil, the tomatoes, and more and sautees them. Fresh mozzarella cheese and other seasonings go on last, before dishing up and serving immediately.

No, you didn’t accidentally skip ahead. The recipe really is that easy to prepare.

“Perfect summer pasta dish!” one person commented on the video. Another wrote, “So light and looks so delicious.”

People gave it great reviews on the Giadzy website as well. “I love caprese salad, and the flavors are all in this dish,” one person wrote, adding that it’s also great reheated or with chicken or shrimp added. Someone else praised how “fast and quick” it was to make.

This fresh and tasty recipe is perfect for summer. And if you need a sweet, citrusy summer dessert to go with it, you can’t go wrong with De Laurentiis’ Aperol Spritz Ricotta Cookies!
