"EXCELLENT COMBINATION OF INGREDIENTS" I made as written using Andouille sausage, great depth of flavors, just the right amount of heat and wonderful texture with the mushrooms, diced tomatoes and green onions blending in with the orecchiette and Parmesan cheese. I didn't need the pasta water as the chicken broth was the correct amount of moisture for this delicious meal. Thanks for posting, a keeper and this goes into my "Best of 2012 Cookbook" Made for Spring 2012 Photo Tag.

Wonderful! I used Conecuh Smoked Sausage and corkscrew pasta, since I couldn't find Orecchiette. I used roma tomatoes, and think I should have used larger tomatoes, as I didn't have quite enough tomato. My fault though, not the recipe. I loved the combination of flavors.....the pasta soaked up so much of the flavors it was just wonderful. Thanks for sharing Lori! Made for Holiday tag.
