Ricotta Pepperoni Dip

Pizza Sticks
1 tube (10 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Dip
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon savory herb with garlic soup mix
1/4 cup chopped pepperoni
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

On a lightly floured surface, roll out pizza crust to a 12-in. x 8-in. rectangle. Brush with oil. Combine the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and pepper; sprinkle over dough.

Cut into 3-in. x 1-in. strips; place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 6-9 minutes or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, combine the sour cream, ricotta, soup mix and pepperoni in a saucepan; heat through.

Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese just until melted. Serve warm with pizza sticks. Makes about 2-1/2 dozen pizza sticks and 2 cups dip.
