Italian Nachos

I saw this recipe on The Cookin Mama's Blog.  I decided to try it because the claim was They taste like Johnny Carino's Nacho's.  We think they do. ***** You will find WONTON wrappers by the produce.  It's near the fresh herbs, tofu, and egg roll wrappers. 

The wonton's take awhile to fry and they need alot of attention.  So I usually get the oil heating and then start browning the sausage.  When the sausage is about done the oil is hot enough to start frying. 





Cut the wontons diagonally to form triangles.







 










Turn the wonton's to brown on both sides.




Italian Nachos
by: Home Run Recipes

Vegetable or canola oil
1 pkg won tons, cut diagonally to form triangles
1 lb Italian sausage browned, or 2 cups cooked chicken pieces
1 16 ounce jar alfredo sauce, warm
1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1 16 ounce jar sliced pepperochini peppers ( I don't do quite that much)
3 jalapeno peppers, sliced (optional)
2 tomatoes, diced
2/3 cup sliced olives
1/2 cup shave parmesan cheese


Directions:

Heat oil in heavy saucepan or deep fryer to 350 degrees. Cook the won tons until they barely begin to brown on each side, turning as needed. They will continue to cook a few seconds after removing from the oil . They will cook fast so don't put too many in the pan at a time. Set aside on paper towels to drain.

Pile won tons on a large serving platter. Sprinkle sausage over top. Drizzle with alfredo sauce. Add the cheese, tomatoes, olives, and peppers. Top with parmesan cheese.  OR you can let everyone create their own plate.

Makes  4 plates of nachos.
