Steps
Let’s prepare the ingredients for the sauce:
Peel and finely chop the onion.
Take the canned tomatoes and chop them into small pieces.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half or into quarters.Cut the speck into small cubes.
Chop the parsley and set aside.
Once all ingredients are ready, we can start our quick preparation.
Place a pot with plenty of salted water on low heat to cook the orecchiette.
Put a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan, add the diced speck, onion, a pinch of salt, chili pepper to taste, and a grind of pepper. Sauté the onion, stirring often, and when it becomes clear, almost translucent, add the chopped canned tomatoes with their juice and the cut cherry tomatoes.
Cover with a lid and cook on medium heat until the sauce is nicely thickened, stirring occasionally.
Once the sauce is cooked, adjust the salt to taste.Cook the orecchiette in the boiling salted water until al dente (1 and a half minutes less than indicated on the package), reserve some cooking water and then drain them.
Add the orecchiette to the freshly prepared sauce, add some pasta cooking water if needed, and complete the cooking for a minute over low heat, stirring continuously, also add the chopped parsley.Serve immediately, and if you like, you can add grated cheese.
