  1. 1 Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in pasta and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  2. 2 Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. 3 Make a breading station: Place flour, egg, and bread crumbs in three separate bowls. Mix garlic powder into bread crumbs. Working in batches, coat chicken in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs.
  4. 4 Carefully fry coated chicken in hot oil in small batches until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Drain fried chicken over paper towels.
  5. 5 Combine cooked pasta, fried chicken, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Stir in marinara sauce. Pour red wine into the empty marinara sauce jar; cover and shake the jar, and empty the contents into the bowl of pasta. Stir to combine. Spread pasta mixture in a large casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup of Parmesan. Return to the oven and continue baking until cheese has melted, about 30 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Cut each noodle into assorted desired shapes.
  2. 2 Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 3 inches into a Dutch oven; heat over high to reach 360 degrees F (182 degrees C). Add 8 to 10 pasta pieces, one at a time to avoid them sticking together, and cook, lightly tapping under the oil and stirring with a spider tool occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove using a spider or tongs to a paper towel-lined sheet tray, and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining pasta pieces, allowing oil temperature to reach back to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C) before adding next batch.
  3. 3 Set an oven rack in the top third and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  4. 4 Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and ground sirloin; cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is browned, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and Italian seasoning; cook stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 minute more. Stir in marinara sauce and remove from heat. Set aside.
  5. 5 Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook, whisking constantly, until starting to bubble, about 30 seconds. Slowly whisk in milk, whisking constantly. Cook over medium heat, whisking often, until slightly thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in mozzarella, Parmesan, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt.
  6. 6 Arrange lasagna chips in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 1/2 of the cheese sauce over top and evenly sprinkle with the sirloin mixture. Dollop with ricotta.
  7. 7 Broil in the preheated oven until ricotta gets brown in spots, about 2 minutes. Serve drizzled with remaining cheese sauce, basil, and parsley.
