Italian Nachos
This recipe is inspired by an Italian restaurant we visited in Oklahoma. It is like pizza and nachos all rolled into one amazing dish! This is great for entertaining. Great for football season and can easily be turned into a nacho bar for your guests.

Instructions
Pasta Chips
- Cut won-ton wrappers into triangles then fry in cooking oil at 350° until golden brown.
Garlic Cheese Sauce
- For the sauce, melt butter in a small sauce pot over medium heat. Add garlic and whisk in flour, cook for a few minutes. Whisk in milk. Allow sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and slowly whisk in the cheese.
Balsamic Reduction
- Bring vinegar to a boil, turn down the heat and let it simmer. When it reduces halfway, add brown sugar. Simmer some more until it becomes syrupy and sticks to the back of a wooden spoon. As it cools it will thicken up. Store left overs in fridge.
Nachos
- On a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, place a layer of chips and then drizzle on sauce and toppings. Place another layer of chips and repeat with sauce and toppings.
- Place in the oven at 400° for a couple minutes to melt the cheese.
- Just before serving, drizzle on the balsamic reduction.
