Orecchiette - mix a cup each of semolina flour and all purpose flour with 2/3 of a cup of warm water and knead for ten to fifteen minutes and then let rest for ten minutes or more. Tear off hunks of the dough and roll out into a half inch long tube, then cut into 1/4 inch pieces and push and roll them with your thumb to create the pasta. Leave them aside while you do the rest.
Sausage - the healthy kind - mix 3/4 pound of ground pork with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon each salt, black pepper, and chopped fennel seed, two tablespoons or so of grated parmigiana reggiano, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Saute three chopped cloves of garlic in olive oil, add the sausage and cook until done, then add half to one bunch of chopped broccoli rabe, half a pint of grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, squeezing them as you put them in, and some red pepper flakes, cover and cook for a few minutes while you boil the pasta. Add the pasta and a tablespoon or so of butter to the sauce, toss, top with pecorino romano or parmigiana reggiano and eat. DO IT!!!
