These soft, golden knots are brushed with garlic butter and finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan and parsley. They look fancy but come together quickly using pre-made dough. Serve them as an irresistible side for pasta night or a party-ready appetizer.

3. In a small bowl, combine melted butter and garlic. Brush over knots.
4. Sprinkle knots with Parmesan and parsley.
5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
