Orecchiette means “little ears” in Italian. It is a small round pasta with a slight dome in the center. Campanelle pasta can be substituted, if desired. For a milder dish, mild or sweet Italian sausage can be used. Italians sausage links with the casings removed can be substituted for the bulk sausage.
