Late summer into early fall is the best time of the year for eating. So many fresh foods out there. If you follow my Instagram you already know my affinity for fresh tomato sandwiches.

This idea popped into my head last week, so I stopped by the farmers market on the way home to pick up some nice fresh butter and sugar corn.

The idea? Sweet corn fettuccine Alfredo. I used 4 ears of corn, which made about 2 cups of kernels. Par boiled the corn, then a quick sauté with butter, olive oil and a couple of cloves of garlic, and a couple tablespooons of diced onion. Added a cup and a half of diced chicken for a bit of protein. Saved the corn water to boil the fresh fettuccine , then finished it all by reducing a cup of heavy cream while tossing it all together. A sprinkle of corn kernels on top for show, and a healthy dose of fresh cracked pepper. Mangia!

Made three servings.

And if you’re on the ball, you still have time to get down on Jetovater in the ninth at Los Al.
