Directions

BRING about 4 quarts water to boil in large pot; add linguine and garlic and cook for 6 minutes.
ADD broccoli to pot and continue cooking linguine and broccoli for 3 minutes longer. Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water. Drain pasta well in colander and return to pot.
REMOVE garlic cloves, slip from skins and mash into paste; scrape into small bowl. Add evaporated milk, cornstarch, mustard, salt and pepper; whisk until cornstarch is completely dissolved with no small lumps remaining. Pour mixture over linguine and broccoli.
RETURN mixture to medium-high heat and stir until sauce is simmering and creamy. Remove from heat and add cheese, stirring just until melted. If sauce is too thick, add some of reserved pasta water to thin. Stir in tomatoes and serve.
