Transport yourself to Italy with Italian Nachos topped with hot sausage, a creamy mozzarella nacho cheese sauce, fresh tomatoes, and basil. Serve as an appetizer or as a cozy dinner for two.
One of the perks of cooking for myself is being able to eat what I want, when I want.
Some friends say if they were in my position they’d eat pancakes or even cold cereal for dinner. I’ve never been tempted to eat boxed cereal for supper — it rarely fills me up in the morning, so why choose it at night?
I do plan real dinners most nights: pasta, steak fajitas, soup, chicken, and occasionally a frozen pizza. But every so often I change my mind five minutes before I start prepping, and then I either follow through with the plan or shift gears and cook whatever I’m craving that day.
Sometimes that craving is for snacks — I’m a fan of salty, savory bites (like Salt and Vinegar Popcorn or Chili Cheese Popcorn). While snacks aren’t a daily dinner solution, it’s nice to have a few playful meal ideas on hand.
Recently I’ve been dreaming about nachos. I love nacho cheese dip and hadn’t made nachos in a long time, so I created an Italian twist: Italian Nachos topped with hot Italian sausage, a mozzarella-based nacho cheese sauce, fresh tomatoes, and chopped basil.
Imagine caprese and spicy sausage joining forces atop crunchy Pasta Chips — it’s a fun fusion that delivers big flavor. One bite and you’ll feel transported to a sunlit Italian hillside.
