Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp plus 1/4 tsp salt
1 lb dried orecchiette pasta
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup julienned onion
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 oz thinly sliced prosciutto , cut into thin strips
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1 bunch broccoli rabe , cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
10 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and thinly sliced
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves
4 to 6 oz ricotta salata, coarsely grated

Directions:

In a large soup pot or stockpot, bring 4 quarts of cold water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of the salt and the orecchiette and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid for the sauce.
While pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet and, when hot, add the onion and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and cook, stirring often, until onions are golden, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the prosciutto and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the broccoli rabe and black pepper and cook, tossing, until the broccoli rabe is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and sun-dried tomatoes and stir to combine. Add the drained pasta and the reserved 1/2 cup of pasta cooking liquid and cook, stirring, until everything is heated through and well-combined. Remove from the heat and add the parsley, remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and the ricotta salata; toss thoroughly to combine.
Serve immediately.
