Lasagna Dip

• 6 uncooked lasagna noodles
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Oil for deep-fat frying
• 1/2 pound bulk Italian sausage
• 2 cups whole-milk ricotta cheese
• 1 cup spaghetti sauce
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

1. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions; drain. Cut noodles into 2-in. pieces; prick each piece several times with a fork. Mix Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
2. In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375u0b0. Fry noodles in batches 1-2 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with cheese mixture.
3. For dip, in a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat 4-6 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking into fine crumbles. Stir in ricotta, spaghetti sauce, garlic and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
4. Transfer to a 1-qt. microwave-safe dish. Sprinkle with Italian cheese. Microwave, covered, on high for 45-60 seconds or until cheese is melted. Serve with lasagna chips.
