Pasta Nachos

Ingredients:

• 1 medium carrot
• A quarter of a small onion
• 1 large clove of garlic
• 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 1 sweet Italian sausage (about 90 g)
• 170 g of ground beef
• 1/4 cup ready marinara sauce
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 12 squares of wonton dough
• 1 tbsp. grated mozzarella
• 1/4 tbsp. grated parmesan
• 1/3 cup prepared Alfredo sauce
• 0.5 cups thinly sliced ​​cherry peppers (about 3 pcs.)
• Vegetable oil for deep-frying

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Finely chop carrots, onion, and garlic in a food processor.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of water over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. Add the Italian sausage and cover the pan with a lid. Cook until browned in spots, 4-5 minutes. Remove the lid and continue cooking until all the water has evaporated and only the oil remains, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan, slice it into half-moons, and set aside.
3. Add the chopped vegetables to the pan and cook, stirring, until the onion begins to soften and the garlic is fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Add the ground beef, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper. Cook, breaking the ground beef into very small pieces with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Add the marinara sauce, tomato paste, sausage, and 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 15 minutes. Keep warm.
4. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side of a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add 1 inch (2.5 cm) of vegetable oil and heat to 375°F (190°C). Fry the wontons, 2-3 at a time, until deep golden brown and crispy, 1-2 minutes. Reheat the oil to 375°F (190°C) between batches. Season with salt to taste.
5. Place 6 chips on the back of a baking sheet, overlapping slightly. Spoon half the meat sauce over the chips. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella, 2 tablespoons Parmesan, drizzle with half the Alfredo sauce, and 1/4 cup cherry peppers. Place the remaining 6 chips on top and add the remaining ingredients in the same order. Bake until the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Slide the chips off the baking sheet and onto a serving platter.
