Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, then drain. Reserve a little cooking water. In the meantime melt the butter gently in a small pan, sauté the chili cubes and oregano briefly. Immediately combine the cooked pasta with the pan contents and ham strips. Season generously with coarsely ground pepper and stir in 2–3 tbsp of reserved cooking water. Divide onto four plates and sprinkle with plenty of parmesan shavings; serve immediately. A fresh green salad pairs well.
