Tasty Snacks 2015: Easy Cheesy Garlic Knot White Pizza Dip

Make this yummy snack for game-day gatherings or dinner parties. It’s so easy to make and everyone raves about it. For the ingredients, here's what you need:

Pizza dough, 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 6 cloves garlic (chopped & divided), 1 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/2 cup melted butter and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.

For the procedure: divide pizza dough into 12-14 equal sized balls. With floured hands, roll the dough balls into logs and tie into individual knots, tucking the excess underneath.

Next, coat a 10 inch oven-safe skillet with olive oil. Place the knots in a ring around the skillet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes - allowing dough to reach room temperature.

In a medium bowl, combine Cream Cheese, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Ricotta, Basil, 3 cloves of Garlic (chopped), and Red Pepper Flakes.

Melt the butter and add the Parsley and remaining Garlic. Stir well.

Bake in a preheated oven at 400˚F (200˚C) for 20 minutes. Broil on High for two additional minutes or until knots and cheese get lightly browned - watching closely so as not to burn it. Remove from oven and brush lightly with additional Garlic Butter. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
