Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the sausage, onion, and garlic, breaking the sausage into smaller pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink, roughly 5 minutes.
While the sausage is cooking, make the cheese sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat the evaporated milk until hot (but not boiling). Whisk in the cheese, cornstarch, and salt until smooth and cheese is completely melted (if it's too thick, whisk in a little more milk). Keep warm.
When sausage and cheese sauce are done, arrange enough Pasta Chips to cover a big plate. Top with half of the sausage mixture, warm cheese sauce, tomatoes, and basil. Top with more Pasta Chips and repeat (you may not use all of the Pasta Chips or cheese sauce). Serve immediately.
