Neopolitan Nachos #Ragu, Rag Recipe Contest Entry How do you make nachos Italian? Using baked lasagna noodles instead of chips and Ragu Spicy Italian Style sauce as your salsa , that’s how! A few more fresh ingredients and you’ll be saying Mamma Mia instead of Ole !, This was creative all the way! What a fun dinner I put together following this recipe Noodles into chips The best of the regular nachos with chips, except nothing is fried (except sausage) SO flavorful! Noodles turn out a bit tough from the baking, so there’s some serious chewing involved, but again, the fun and flavor factor win out over minor issues This should be a major contender for contest winner
