Jared's Self-Proclaimed Excellent Alfredo

[510dat]

Jared's Self-Proclaimed Excellent Alfredo:

1/2 pound fettuccine
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
1.5 Tsb coarsly minced ginger
1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, cubed
1 green onion, sliced
1 apple, diced
1 tsp sesame seeds
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3 Tsb. olive/peanut oil
1 Tsb. sesame oil
pepper to taste

cook the fettuccine with olive oil and salt until al-dente
in a wok or large skillet, add ~ 3 Tsb. olive/peanut oil (I used peanut oil; it cooks at a higher temperature, but olive oil will probably work fine), 1 tsp. sesame seeds, 1 Tsb sesame oil, the ginger, half the garlic and all the onions. Cook until the onions are just getting soft. Add the fettuccine, tomato chunks, and the rest of the garlic. Cook for a minute or two, then add the whipping cream, apple peices, stir, take off heat, keep stirring. Add however much pepper you like.

The sesame ingredients are optional, but they add a good flavor to it. I may have used more cream, but I'm sure it would be quite edible without any cream at all. Pine nuts may also be a good addition.

This made four moderate portions; two each for my brother and I. Next time I may add some chili oil to spice it up a bit.

Sound good! Only thing I'd change about it is at the end, grate tons of fresh parmesan cheese on top=)
