I usually post on here only Italian recipes so I am sure that they are authentic, but I made this totally delicious, vegetarian nachos-inspired (not the authentic stuff) dish and I simply had to share it. It’s the perfect easy food to make for a chilled evening on the sofa spent in front of the football or to just put in the middle of the table on a family meal and let everyone dig in and help themselves. Let me know what you and your family think of it if you make it!
