Prepare the ingredients: Wash the bell peppers, then slice them into thin strips. Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
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.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and gently stir to combine with the peppers. Season with salt and pepper.
Let the sauce simmer gently over low heat for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
At the end of cooking, stir in the finely chopped basil. This adds freshness and enhances the flavor profile of the sauce.
Use an immersion blender to puree the sauce until smooth. For an even silkier texture, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve.
Serve warm, for example, alongside grilled meats, fish, or pasta.
