I wasn't a big fan of this dish. The sausage was a bit too dry and the spinach was a bit too bitter. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of sausage and cooked the spinach separately.

I thought this dish was just okay. The sausage was a bit bland and the spinach was a bit too oily. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of sausage and drained the spinach before adding it to the dish.

The orecchiette was a bit too al dente for my liking. I would have preferred it to be cooked a bit more.
