Serve Cheesy Bread Sticks the next time you make Spaghetti and Meatballs or your favorite pasta dish. Our family loves this recipe and there are never any leftovers. In fact, we sometimes call dibs for the last piece. (Fighting at the table is not allowed.)
I’ve been making this recipe for years, every since our daughters were young. They liked it then and they still love it today. As do their husbands. And our grandchildren.
The bread is an old pizza dough recipe I used to make. It’s soft with a hint of sweetness. And it’s loaded with gooey Mozzarella Cheese. Salty garlic powder. Sweet and tasty Chives. Or use dried Parsley if you prefer. Your taste buds will be in heaven. I’m drooling now, just thinking about it.
