That works well for us. Put a lid on the pan during the first portion of
cooking.

I have a pan of links doing exactly that right now... when they're
store bought fresh eyetalian sausages I always simmer them for about
1/2 hour... then dump the water. This removes the excessive salt
typical of commercial sausage. Then I brown them in a bit of olive
oil. These will be cooked again in a pot of tomato sauce.
