Wash parsley, shake dry. Pluck the leaflets. Peel the garlic, press through. Put both with the almonds in a tall container, add a little oil and puree. Then beat in enough oil until a creamy pesto is created. Stir in the parmesan and season with a little salt and pepper.
Halve the paprika, clean, core, wash, cut into wafer-thin, 5-6 cm long strips.
Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water according to the instructions on the package. In the meantime, fry the peppers in 1 to 2 tablespoons of hot oil for about 2 minutes, season.
Drain the pasta, mix with the paprika, distribute on plates. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of parsley pesto on top. Garnish with thyme leaves if you like and serve hot.
