 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3                    Links parsley/cheese sausage OR
    1/2   lb           - Luganega sausage,
                       - (commercially made)
  1       qt           Meat broth
    1/3   c            Finely chopped onion
  3       tb           Butter
  2       tb           Dry white wine
  1 1/2   c            Arborio rice
    3/4   c            Grated Parmesan cheese
                       Salt
                       Freshly ground black pepper

 REMOVE THE CASINGS from the sausage and break up the
 sausage. Bring the broth to a simmer. In a casserole,
 soften the chopped onion in half the butter. Add the
 sausage meat and brown it. Raise heat, sprinkle on the
 wine, and let it evaporate. Add the rice, stirring to
 coat all the grains with the fat. Saute 1 to 2
 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and start adding
 broth, a ladleful at a time. Stir often and add more
 broth only as the rice begins to dry out. Cook for 35
 to 45 minutes, or until the rice is al dente and has
 absorbed almost all its liquid. (If you run out of
 broth before then, use boiling water.) Stir in the
 remaining butter and all the grated cheese. Taste for
 salt and pepper. Serve at once.
