Ingredients

✓ 12 ounces pasta (such as penne, fusilli, or spaghetti)
✓ 2 large red bell peppers (roasted and peeled)
✓ 1/2 cup heavy cream
✓ 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
✓ 2 tablespoons olive oil
✓ 3 cloves garlic (minced)
✓ 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
✓ Salt and pepper (to taste)
✓ Fresh basil (for garnish)

Instructions

✓ Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast the red bell peppers for about 35 minutes or until blackened.

✓ Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add pasta and cook al dente.
