3 to 4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1 can (11 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated original breadsticks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cooking Instructions:


Heat oven to 375°F. In small microwavable bowl, microwave garlic, butter and oil on High 30 seconds or until butter is melted. Stir in basil and parsley; set aside. Unroll dough; separate into 12 breadsticks. Twist and tie each breadstick into a “knot-like” ball; place in ungreased 9-inch round cake pan. Spoon butter-herb mixture evenly over top of each knot. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.


Notes

You can replace the fresh herbs with 1/2 teaspoon each of dried basil leaves and parsley flakes.
Grated Parmesan cheese can also be sprinkled on the rolls before baking.
