Pink Fettuccine Alfredo - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    5 tablespoons butter
    2 garlic cloves, crushed
    2 cups broccoli florets
    2 cups cream
    1 cup drained canned crushed tomatoes, in little pieces of pureed
    5 ounces prosciutto, cut into julienne strips
    1 lb fettuccine pasta
    1/2 cup grated pecorino cheese (or more)
    fresh parsley
Preparation
    Heat butter over moderately-high heat until foam subsides.
    Saute garlic and broccoli, stirring, for 2 minutes.
    Remove with slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
    Add cream to skillet and simmer, stirring, for 3-5 minutes, or until thickened slightly.
    Stir in tomatoes, prosciutto and broccoli and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes; season to taste (I now puree the tomatoes before using as one of my kids does not like tomato 'pieces' in his food).
    Cook fettucine until al dente.
    In a large bowl, toss fettucine with 1/3 of the sauce until coated well.
    Transfer to serving plates and spoon remaining sauce and vegetables over.
    Sprinkle with cheese and garnish with parsley.
