NOTES

If you can't find orecchiette pasta you could also use macaroni, penne or fusilli pasta.
If serving this to children I use the sweet Italian sausage and serve red pepper flakes on the side. Since this dish is really great with a little bit of a kick. But if spiciness is not an issue, then use the hot Italian sausage.
