Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced yellow onion until softened and translucent.
Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked through.
Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper, and cook for 1 minute until the spices become fragrant.
Pour the tomato puree into the skillet and reduce the heat to low, simmering the ragu for 5 to 7 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen.
Drain the cooked pasta, reserving a splash of pasta water if needed, and toss the noodles directly into the skillet with the pork ragu.
Stir everything together until the pasta is well coated, then serve garnished with freshly chopped basil.
