Pasta Chips
12 wonton wrappers
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 egg white, frothed
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Nachos
1 pound ground Italian sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 (14.5 ounce) cans Tuttorosso® Petite Diced Tomatoes, drained, 1 cup tomatoes reserved
Cheese Sauce
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Salt and black pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400^o F.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the sausage, onion and garlic; breaking the sausage into smaller pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes to the sausage mixture and cook an additional 5 minutes.

Arrange enough chips to cover a large plate.Top with half of the sausage & tomato mixture, warm cheese sauce, half of the reserved tomatoes and one tablespoon of the chopped basil. Top with more pasta chips, sausage & tomato mixture, cheese sauce, remaining tomatoes and basil. Serve immediately.
