I used to work in an italian deli/butcher shop and made the sausage. I don't have amounts but it was salt,black pepper,garlic powder,red crushed pepper and cayenne (for the hot) fennel seed. For the holidays we would make special mixes adding wine and cheese
I'm sorry I don't have amounts as Norm the owner kept that close to the vest and would have all the spices pre mixed together in a plastic container
Ed I don't make it any longer as there are such good butcher shops and even wegmans has great italian sausage so it's just not worth the bother for me here in the heart of Italian country
