In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil.
Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Blend until smooth.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the blended roasted red pepper sauce into the skillet. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes over medium heat until heated through.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Serve the pasta warm, garnished with fresh basil and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Enjoy your creamy and flavorful roasted red pepper pasta!
