Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until skins are charred. Peel, seed, and set aside.
  2. Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.
  3. Blend the roasted peppers, cream, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth to create the sauce.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the blended sauce and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss in the sauce for 2–3 minutes, adding reserved pasta water for consistency as needed.
  6. Transfer pasta to warm bowls, top with burrata, and garnish with basil.
  7. Grate Parmesan cheese over the top if desired and serve immediately while warm.
