Step 1

Wash each bell pepper and cut the bottoms and tops off thin to maximize pepper meat. Dice bell peppers, discarding the inside flesh and seeds. Season with a pinch of salt and smoked paprika, combine and set aside.

Step 2

Carefully slice each sausage link into pieces about a half inch thick. Set aside in a bowl and sprinkle salt with cumin, combine.

Step 3

Use a pan on medium heat and add oil. When oil is hot, add sausage and brown for 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add peppers to pan, sautee for 3 minutes. Turn heat to low and cover, letting them cook during the next steps.

Step 5

Fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Add pasta and stir occasionally. Cook for 7 minutes, drain and return to pot.

Step 6

Uncover pan and add garlic and butter. Sautee the sausages and peppers for 3 minutes before combining everything into the pot.

Step 7

Add sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and toss, repeat until using as many as desired. Finish with a light squeeze of lemon juice and plate garnished with fresh parsley.
