Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then toss in the sliced leeks. Sauté them for about 6 minutes, until they're tender. Set the leek and vegetable mixture aside for a moment.
Meanwhile, get your pasta cooking. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and add the orecchiette. Cook until the pasta is just tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
