Sausage Fest '06

With all the meat I've got now, there was no question that pork would figure into the New Year's Eve meal somehow. What better way to ring in the new year than with homemade Italian sausage in a rich red sauce. The sausage recipe is pretty much straight from Alton Brown, minus the parsley and without casings. It had a great fennel aroma and peppery bite. The sauce was a team effort that came out nice and thick, with a good dose of onion, garlic, herbs and sausage.
