How to prepare the pasta recipe with peppers and cream

1. First, cook the pasta in plenty of salted water for the time indicated on the package. We recommend a short format that captures the sauce well.
2. In the meantime, wash the pepper, remove the seeds and internal white filaments and cut it into pieces . Both thin strips and small squares are fine: keep in mind that the smaller they are, the quicker they will cook.
3. Place them in the pan with the oil and the garlic clove and let them cook until they are tender. It will take about ten minutes. Finally, season with salt and pepper.
4. Place them in a bowl and blend them with an immersion blender , taking care to remove the garlic clove (you can leave a few pieces aside for the final decoration or not)
5. Add the cream and mix well, then pour the pepper cream back into the pan, turning the stove on to low heat. If desired, add basil leaves torn into pieces with your hands.
6. Once the pasta is ready, drain it and add salt to it in the pan with the sauce. Distribute on plates and complete as desired with some grated cheese and, if you have kept them aside, with the pieces of pepper.
