Orecchiette with Sausage, Spinach and Brie

Tonight was another one of my favorite night's in the kitchen are when I just create as I go and it turned out delicious!! I didn't really measure anything I just grabbed and went with the flow, and this is how it went. I took a package of sweet Italian sausage and took it out of it's casing. I broke it up and got some good caramelization on it then I added 5-6 cloves of chopped garlic and a giant bunch of fresh spinach from my local farm. I simmered it for about 5 minutes. Next I put the pot on to boil for the pasta, don't forget to add plenty of salt to the water. While I was cooking the pasta I finished off the sauce with a nice tablespoon of butter, some of the starchy pasta water and about 1/2 cup of heavy cream, salt and pepper to taste. I decide to finish it off with yummy chunks of brie, my favorite cheese!!  Then I just let it hang out on the warm stove so the flavors would marry and soak up all the liquid, it turned out so good!!!
