FRESH SAUSAGE
"SALSICCIA FRESCA"
Fresh Italian sausages are almost always made of pork. The sausages are pink and meaty, with just enough fat to make them moist and delicious. Although there are many variations, most Italian sausages aren't flavored with much more than salt and pepper. Exceptions include sweet sausage that may be flavored with fennel seed and hot sausage that contains ground red chille. A southern Italian specialty, called cervellata, is flavored with parsley and cheese and is coiled into a large wheel held together with wooden pegs. These are not usually cooked in sauce, but are great grilled. Northern Italians prefer luganega, a mild pork sausage, that is stuffed into a long casing and either tied into long narrow links or coiled into a spiral. Sometimes Parmigiano-Reggiano and nutmeg are added.
