(119)

This hot Italian sausage recipe was made at my friend's restaurant for over 30 years. When he retired, he graciously passed it on to me. It is excellent in spaghetti sauce, on pizza, or as meatballs and hamburger patties. This recipe was prized by him and revered by many. We are lucky to have gotten this recipe.
