Garlic Knot Hearts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 tablespoons salted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 (11 ounce) can breadsticks, dough (Pillsbury)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, plus 2 tablespoons for topping
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a small saucepan over medium low heat, melt butter. Stir in chopped garlic and Italian seasoning blend then remove from heat.
Unroll breadstick dough and separate along perforated lines. Working with one at a time, brush the dough lightly with garlic herb butter. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon parmesan cheese over dough. Roll ends of dough towards each other. When they meet, place on prepared baking sheet. Pinch the bottom of the dough into a point to make a heart-shape. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Brush the tops of the bread hearts with garlic butter, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake until golden, about 12-15 minutes.
Remove from oven, brush well with remaining garlic butter, sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese and garnish with chopped parsley.
