A fabulous quality of pasta is that it can be simultaneously simple and delicious, and take up very little of your time to prepare (and eat). Considering times that you need something substantial in a flash, our Orecchiette Pasta with Italian Sausage and Sage recipe will do the job and do it well. Depending on the sausage, this dish can be spicy too, so if you have a spicy sausage, don't forget some mellow goat's cheese on top.
