Roasted the red bell peppers right on the oven rack (middle) for 15 minutes on each side. If you want to prevent any messes that may occur, you can cover a backing sheet with aluminum foil and place it on the rack below the peppers to catch any drippings.
Remove the red bell peppers with tongs and place them in a large bowl. Cover for 10 minutes with cling wrap until cool enough to handle with hands.
Remove bell pepper seeds and skin. These should come off easily.
Place red bell pepper flesh into the food processor and puree until it's the consistency of tomato sauce.
In a pan on medium heat, add the two tabs of butter.
When the butter has mostly melted, add the garlic and stir until fragrant (30 seconds).
Add the red bell pepper puree and the spices, tomato paste, salt, and pepper.
Stir occasionally for about 3 minutes until it bubbles up in areas around the pan.
Add the heavy cream and parmesan and stir until sauce thickens up.
