  2. While the peppers are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your choice of pasta and cook until al dente.
  3. In a blender, combine the roasted red peppers, heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Blend until smooth.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Pour in your blended sauce and allow it to simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the creamy red pepper sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta thoroughly.
  6. Scoop the pasta into serving bowls and top with a piece of burrata cheese.
  7. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh basil and optional grated Parmesan cheese.
