Notes: Look for high-quality fresh sausage; the casings will be easier to remove. Ricotta salata is available at specialty food stores and some well-stocked supermarkets; if you can't find it, substitute 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese.
This recipe was SO delicious and easy. I had spinach and orecchiette on hand and wanted to find a good recipe to use both and I am so happy I found this. I wouldn't think to put tomatoes in this recipe but they really helped to make a thicker 'sauce' which I enjoyed. I also used parmesan cheese instead of ricotta salada, but that is just what I had on hand - this will absolutely be in my weekly repertoire going forward.
