I've not tried this yet but it sounds good. Never heard of orecchiette pasta before. I'm always looking for new and different forms of pasta.

Was out on the lake all day fishing and was late getting home. Had some friends comming over for dinner and had to scramble to get this ready before they arrived. Preped the meat (used pork loin sliced 1/4" thick and lightly pounded and fresh orageno from my garden), sliced the mushrooms, and had all of the ingredients measured and out for the sauce before they arrived.
Sat back when they arrived and had a couple of beers then started cooking. The smells were great and when I put it on the table everybody raved about the flavor. About 1/2 way through the meal I realized I forgot to add the cream!! The result of this? Great flavor and way fewer calories. This does not need the cream to be fantastic.
Just a note, I basically doubled the recipe and between two couples there was about half a serving left.
