Add the peppers and saute over medium-high heat, string occasionally, until the peppers are well wilted but not browned, about 10 minutes.", "4. Lower the heat to medium and stir in the wine and a pinch of salt. Continue cooking until the peppers are soft but not browned, about 15 minutes more.", "5. While the peppers cook, put the basil, Parmesan cheese and remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a food processor or blender and puree as fine as possible. Set aside.", "6. Whisk together the eggs and yolks in a bowl. Add the half-and-half, heavy cream and about 1/2 teaspoon salt and whisk to smooth.", "7.
