Italian Nachos are a creative twist on traditional nachos, swapping tortilla chips for crispy wonton wrappers or pasta chips, then layering them with Italian sausage, marinara sauce, cheeses, and tangy pepperoncini. Perfect as a party appetizer or fun main dish.

Ingredients

  1. 12 wonton wrappers or cooked pasta sheets, cut and fried into chips
  2. 8 oz Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
  3. 1 cup marinara sauce
  4. 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  5. 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  6. 1/4 cup pepperoncini peppers, sliced
  7. 1/4 cup black olives, sliced (optional)
  8. 2 tbsp fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  9. 1/2 cup olive oil (for frying)
  10. Salt, to taste

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet or deep fryer. Fry wonton wrappers or pasta sheets until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

  1. Cook Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles until fully browned. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Arrange fried chips on a large oven-safe platter or baking sheet.
  4. Spoon marinara sauce evenly over the chips.
  5. Top with cooked sausage, mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoncini, and olives if using.
  6. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

  1. Best served immediately for maximum crispness.
  2. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 2 days, reheating in the oven for best texture.
  3. Customize toppings with different cheeses, vegetables, or meats.
  4. To make vegetarian, omit sausage and add sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers.
  5. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pasta or wonton wrappers.
