Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat; swirl in 2 tbsp. oil.
Add onion and a pinch of salt. Cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. It's okay if onion picks up color, but don't let it burn; add a splash of water if you need to. Stir in chile and garlic; cook 1 minute.
Add half of tomatoes and cook until jammy, stirring often, about 10 minutes. "
Let them cook until they collapse and start making syrupy bubbles," says Nosrat.
Boil orecchiette until tender to the bite, 7 to 10 minutes if fresh, 15 to 20 if dried.
Scoop out pasta and add to pan, along with remaining tomatoes and half of marjoram. If pasta looks dry, add a little oil and pasta water. If you like, stir in some ricotta salata. Spoon into bowls and top with ricotta and remaining marjoram.
*Because store-bought pasta is thinner than homemade, you get more pieces per pound.
