Steps:
- For the tomatoes: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray, and set aside.

- In a blender, combine the red wine, 1 teaspoon salt, the red pepper flakes, black pepper, garlic, canned tomatoes (plus juices). Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 20 minutes.

Steps:
- In a large kettle of boiling salted water cook the potatoes, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices or into 1/4-inch dice, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are tender, and transfer them with a slotted spoon to a bowl, reserving the water for cooking the fettuccine. In a large heavy skillet cook the garlic, the onion, the red pepper flakes, and the rosemary in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is soft and add the broth, the wine, and the peas. Simmer the mixture for 3 minutes, or until the peas are tender, and stir in the prosciutto, the potatoes, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring the reserved water in the kettle to a boil and in it cook the fettuccine until it is al dente. Drain the pasta and in a large bowl toss it with the potato mixture and the Parmesan.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients measured, chopped, and prepped. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process go more smoothly.
- Use fresh, seasonal vegetables: Spring is a great time to find fresh, local vegetables at your farmers market or grocery store. Using fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor and texture.
- Cook the vegetables al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the perfect cooking stage for vegetables, when they are still slightly firm and crisp.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in many Italian dishes. Choose a good quality olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, meaning it should still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and bland.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or chives, can add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
