This is a favorite snack in our house during the Super Bowl. I season refrigerated breadsticks before baking, then serve them with warm pizza sauce for dipping. —Michelle Revelle, Guyton, Georgia

Ingredients

1 tube (11 ounces) refrigerated breadsticks
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup pizza sauce
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

Unroll breadstick dough; cut each piece in half widthwise and separate. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Add dough pieces, a few at a time, and shake to coat.
Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 10-13 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, place pizza sauce in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover; microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Microwave 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted. Serve with breadsticks.
