A spiffy side to jazz up any meal.
Because I’m a busy mom (what other kind is there?), I have lots of recipes that can be put together quickly. There are easy Crockpot meals that you can assemble in a few minutes and let them cook all day, and sheet pan dinners that you can cook on a single pan.
But sometimes, even that’s not quick enough. Sometimes, when everyone is on a tight schedule, you have to get dinner ready now –which usually means settling for something simple like a pot of spaghetti.
I always feel a little bad about those kinds of dinners, because there’s nothing special about them. But honestly, when you’re that pressed for time, how can you possibly add any special touches?
Here’s your answer: Parmesan Garlic Knots. They look fancy, they taste fancy, but they’re actually super fast and easy to make. They start with refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, so there’s no mixing involved; all you have to do is cut them up, coat them with butter and seasoning, twist them up, and bake them. You can do all the prep work in the time it takes a pot of water to boil, and have them out of the oven by the time the spaghetti is cooked.
These cute little dinner rolls can turn a last-minute meal into something truly special. And they’re classy-looking enough to complement a fancier dinner, too, without adding to your cooking time.

7. Serve immediately, brushed with remaining butter mixture.
