Ingredients
- 16 oz lasagna noodles, cooked and cut ready for frying
- 1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese
- vegetable oil for frying
Sauce
- 1 lb Italian sausage, cooked
- 24 oz jar of favorite marinara sauce (or homemade)
- 1 Tbsp parsley
- 1/2 Tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 Tbsp fresh basil finely sliced (+ more for topping if desired)
Cheese mixture
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook sausage until fully browned. Add in your marinara sauce & seasonings. Set aside
- In a small bowl, add your ricotta cheese and seasonings, mix and set aside.
- Cook your lasagna noodles until al dente. You want them to bend but not fully cooked.
- Preheat your oil in a shallow frying pan while you cut your noodles into triangle shapes.
- Fry your noodles until golden brown – but don’t burn them. When they come out – immediately season them with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
- On a baking sheet you will now “assemble” your nachos. Put a layer of chips on the bottom, then add a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, then a layer of your meat/sauce mixture (making sure most chips get some of this on them) and then a layer of dollops of your ricotta cheese mixture.
- Proceed to do a second layer of these and top lastly with a generous amount of mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in oven at 425F for 15-20 minutes or until all the cheese is melted and is starting to brown. (Keep an eye on it!)
- Top with thinly sliced basil if desired & enjoy!
