How to Make Red Pepper Cream Sauce
- Roast the red bell peppers. Place them on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F until charred, about 20 minutes. Once roasted, allow them to cool slightly, then peel and seed them.
- Sauté the garlic. In a medium pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn!
- Combine the peppers and garlic. Add the roasted red peppers to the pan and cook for an additional 2 minutes, mixing well to combine the flavors.
- Pour in the heavy cream. Gently whisk the cream into the pepper mixture, stirring well to combine.
- Season your sauce. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Blend until smooth. Transfer the sauce to a blender and blend until silky and smooth.
- Heat through and serve. Return the smooth sauce to the pan over low heat just until warm, and serve it over pasta or as a dip.
