Cook the pasta while the peppers are roasting. Drain pasta and reserve some of the pasta water. Toss the pasta with olive oil.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit with the rack in the middle. Combine the turkey with garlic powder and salt. Roll into 1 inch meatballs. Cook for about 15 minutes or until browned & cooked through.
Sweat the shallots in a good splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the tomatoes. Add garlic. Cook until the tomatoes start to form a sauce, gently stir. You don't want them to burst too much. Fold in the roasted peppers. Add a little pasta water to thin out the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss spaghetti with the sauce. Top with meatballs, shaved parmesan, and fresh basil.
