There's something so comforting about baking up a batch of homemade Italian Garlic Knots. These little twists of joy come from the heart of Italian cuisine, where bread plays such a crucial role at the dinner table, often used for scooping up that last bit of sauce or just enjoyed plain with a good olive oil. What makes garlic knots so endearing is how they've spun traditional breadsticks into a fun and flavorful form. Whether it's for a cozy family dinner, a companionship-gathering snack or just because the aroma of garlic and bread baking is too wonderful to pass up, these knots are sure to please. When you're looking to create memories around the table without spending the day in the kitchen, this shortcut using Pillsbury breadsticks is just the ticket.
Italian Garlic Knots are wildly versatile! Serve them up alongside a steamy bowl of your family's favorite spaghetti or fettuccine alfredo. They're also delightful with soup, like a robust minestrone, or as an appetizer served with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. Don't hesitate to pair them with a crisp green salad dressed with a zesty Italian vinaigrette to balance the rich garlic flavor.
