Step 1: Drain your peppers in a colander, then dump in a blender. Add remaining ingredients, except the ribboned extra basil, and puree till smooth. Pour into a small saucepan and simmer as low as your burner will go for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Step 2: Spoon over your favorite pasta. Sprinkle with ribboned basil.
Step 3: *If you prefer, you can roast your own red bell peppers, remove the skins, and puree. It would reduce the sodium. Check on youtube if you're not sure how to do that.
