Cheesy Pull-Apart Party Sticks

1 (11-ounce) can refrigerated soft breadsticks
6-ounces (1 1/2 cups) shredded cheese such as Mozzarella, Provolone and Smoked Gouda
1/2 teaspoon dried basil or oregano
About 2 cups warmed ready prepared marinara sauce

1. Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Remove breadsticks from can. Arrange breadsticks in a single layer lengthwise on a parchment paper- lined baking sheet. Do not separate breadsticks. You should have a rectangle about 13-inches long and 6-inches wide.
3. Sprinkle cheese and basil or oregano down center of dough leaving a border of about l/2-inch. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned. Remove from oven and transfer to a board or platter. Let cool 3 to 4 minutes. To serve, pull apart breadsticks. Serve with marinara sauce.

Makes 12 servings.
