    Preparation Steps

    1

    Prepare the ingredients: Wash the bell peppers, then slice them into thin strips. Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

    2

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and garlic. Sauté until the peppers soften and begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes.

    3

    Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and gently stir to combine with the peppers. Season with salt and pepper.

    4

    Let the sauce simmer gently over low heat for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

    5

    At the end of cooking, stir in the finely chopped basil. This adds freshness and enhances the flavor profile of the sauce.

    6

    Use an immersion blender to puree the sauce until smooth. For an even silkier texture, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve.

    7

    Serve warm, for example, alongside grilled meats, fish, or pasta.
