Parmesan PointersWhen a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

Yummy! I made these with homemade biscuits. The first time I follwed the directions, and they fell apart. So, this time I brushed olive oil on them and sprinkled the dry topping ingredients. It worked great!

Incredibly easy, tastes SO good that I got requests for the recipe!I only made two changes: I used olive oil instead of canola oil because that is what I had on hand. I also cut the biscuits into halves instead of thirds because it was easier and I don't mind bigger garlic-Parmesan knots! :)

Very Italian. I've been to Rom a year ago and had the knots daily. Finally I found an english recipe. Very simple

I have made this recipe several times and have gotten raves each time. Someone said they would be really good with spaghetti.

These are wonderful and so simple! I've made them with the parmesan coating and also brushed them with melted butter hot out of the oven.

Very good...I think I would double the oil next time though because the consistency was not good for tossing

Absolutely wonderful and so simple! I made exactly as directed only divided in dough round in half instead of thirds because I was in a hurry. Well definitely make these again.

Been making these for years! I use lowfat biscuits, take each biscuit and make a long snake out of it, tie in a knot, bake, poke holes in it with fork then pour home made garlic butter over and top with parmesan cheese. They are awesome.

My family loves these. We usually add more garlic and herbs. We put the mixture in a covered plastic bowl and shake up the Knots.

Excellent. Served with Porkchops cooked in BBQ sauce and Italian Dressing, and Mac and Cheese. I rolled each roll in the cheese/garlic mixture, baked and then in butter again when they came out of the oven. Also works by cutting the biscuits in half. Will definately make them again bit try making them in a big rectangle put in the filling and then slicing them and then baking them.

Don't think you could freeze as it would just be a cut up biscuit. But they are so fast to make I don't know how it would save you that much time.

I have made these several times, and they are a hit every time. I add Asiago cheese to it for a deeper flavor, and they disappear. A keeper!

Great alternative to biscuits. We found the flavoring to be light and I may play with sharper cheeses next time. Will definitely make again.

These little parmesan knots were a hit with everyone in my family. They have been asking for them every night since I first made them. They are super easy to make and the recipe can easily be altered to better suit your taste. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

While these were easy to make, I would make many changes. MORE Crushed Garlic would be better. A good start to these, but needs improvement. :-(

Super easy and good. I used pilsbury simply... buttermilk bisuit dough, and .5 oz asiago cheese, and it was 52 cal per knot, which is a little different from the nutrition info but not by much. It was a little hard to coat the biscuits, it might work better to put the biscuits in the bowl then cover them with the already mixed ingredients.

I really liked these as change from garlic bread with spaghetti. I don't think the pan needs to be greased, though. They got burnt on the bottom.

Just made these again for the 3rd time, and I highly endorse them, with these changes: cut biscuits into fourths, brush with the oil, and then sprinkle the dry ingredients before baking. The flavorings stay on! I also added a little paprika and black pepper to the mix, which gave them a little kick. My guests raved, and so will you!

I make these at home at least 3 times a month and have taken them to potlucks as well. Everyone LOVES them and there are never leftovers. I love how easy they are to make and stock up on canned biscuits when they are on sale. Oh - we tried them once dipped in the coating before we baked them and we did not think they were as good. I use Grands Buttermilk biscuits for best results.

I made these with dinner instead of garlic bread. Tossing them in a bowl instead of giving each knot individual attention is what made it so simple.

I made these last week and we loved them. They are very easy to make and very delicious to eat. I will be making these often. They also reheat very well & even taste good right out of the fridge I dipped a few into the bowl and just swished them around a bit. I want to try dipping them into the sauce before baking next time to see how they are that way. I am pretty sure there was a very similar recipe in a QC years ago but I did not look at the recipe yet. Sue PS I wanted to post the recipe for those that can't see it.

made this yesterday and it came out great. only change I made, was I used a pastry brush to apply the topping onto the knots. doing it the other way didnt seem to make sense to me. Everyone loved them, and they are so simple to make. you dont need to place the rolls that far apart on the cookie sheet..
