Crumble the sausage or remove it from the casings if using sausage links.
Brown the sausage in a Dutch oven or a large, heavy pot.
Remove the cooked sausage to a bowl.
Saute the onion, garlic, celery, and carrots until very tender in the sausage drippings, or use the 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil if the sausage was very lean.
Add the sausage, arborio rice, wine, and beef broth to the pot and stir.
Bring to a boil. Cover the pot and turn the heat down to low.
Simmer for 20 minutes, until the rice is tender. No peeking!
Season with salt and pepper.
