In a large skillet, sauté garlic and onion for 2-3 minutes in olive oil, until lightly browned. Add sausage and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until sausage is no longer pink.

Add spinach and vegetable broth, and let spinach wilt. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, and cook orecchiette until al dente. Drain pasta and add to pan with sausage mixture. Simmer for another 2 minutes.

If you happen to have leftovers from this recipe, we found that adding just a little bit of additional leftover vegetable broth loosens and remoistens this pasta beautifully during reheating.
