I LOVE the Italian Nachos at Johnny Carino's. This is a recipe I am working on to get my fix at home. Ingredients:
12 wonton wrappers |
1 egg white, frothed |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon oregano or 1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning mix |
1/2 lb italian sausage, cooked and crumbled |
1 (10 ounce) container refrigerated four cheese pasta sauce or 1 (10 ounce) container alfredo sauce |
1/2 cup chopped tomato |
1/4 cup sliced green onion |
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can sliced ripe olives |
2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno peppers (more to taste) or 2 tablespoons banana peppers, chopped |
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese |
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
Directions:
1. Cut wontons into 4 triangles each and toss lightly in olive oil. 2. Cover a cookie sheet with a single layer of wontons. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with oregano or Italian seasoning. 3. Bake at 400ºF for 6 minutes or until lightly browned. 4. Meanwhile, heat the sauce, brown the Italian sausage and drain fat. 5. On a platter layer the pasta chips, sausage, and sauce. Top with the tomato, onions, olives and peppers. Finish with shredded cheese and red pepper flakes. 6. Place in warm oven for 5 minutes to melt cheese and serve. |
