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 
Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

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. 

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.
