Season with salt and white pepper For the sauce: In a sauce pan, heat the remaining olive oil. Add the peppers, onions, garlic, basil, cayenne and cook for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the stock and the cream and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8 minutes. With a hand-held blender, puree the sauce until smooth.
