Well, to be honest sausages never go completely out of season, because they're wonderful grilled at any time, but Italians are much less enthusiastic about using them in other ways during the summer months. Now that temperatures have begun to drop, they're reclaiming their place at the table.

And Next, Some Ideas:
- Sausage and Savoy Cabbage Soup, or Minestra di Verze: The combination does a superb job of warming the heart.
- Risotto with Sausages, or Risotto con le Salsicce: Quite simple, and very tasty. Comfort food.
- Rigatoni alla Burrina, with Sausages and Tomatoes: This is especially nice with sun-ripened tomatoes, though you can use canned.
- Potato and Sausage Ravioli - Ravioli di Patate e Salsiccia: A delightful filling for stuffed pasta!
- Sausage and Potatoes - Salsicce e Patate: Mountain fare, from ip in the Alps.
- Fagiuoli all'Ucceletto - Tuscan Tomatoey Beans: They're a nice side dish as is, but become one of the most satisfying cool weather main courses if you cook some sausages with the beans.
