Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by adding marinated roasted red peppers, garlic, and any remaining marinating liquid to your food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- In a large saucepan, add 2 tablespoons of butter and melt gently over medium-low heat, swirling the pan occasionally for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 2 minced garlic cloves to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Stir the pureed roasted pepper mixture into the garlic butter, seasoning with salt and fresh ground pepper. Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
- Lower the heat and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of dried basil. Simmer gently for 6-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce is simmering, cook your pasta of choice until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- Add the drained pasta directly to the sauce, tossing to combine and adding reserved pasta water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
- Let the pasta cook in the sauce for an additional minute over low heat before serving.

Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat with a splash of reserved pasta water or cream to restore creaminess.
