Instructions

Step five

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.
