Orecchiette with Sausage and Greens

This recipe calls for broccoli or broccoli rabe.  We're not broccoli fans so I think I will swap in either fresh spinach or asparagus.

1lb. cooked orecchiette
Nearly naked sauce (recipe below)
Steamed broccoli rabe or broccoli, or spinach, or asparagus
Browned Italian sausage
Grated pecorino cheese
Toasted bread crumbs

Heat 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil with 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes and 4 large thinly sliced garlic cloves in a large skillet over medium low heat.  Cook until garlic is pale golden brown and very fragrant, 7 to 8 minutes.  Stir in hot pasta, 1/2 cup hot pasta water, browned sausage and your chosen green.  Top with cheese and bread crumbs.
