1. Cut pizza dough into 12-14 equal sized strips. Tie into individual knots, tucking the excess underneath.
2. Coat a 10 inch oven-safe skillet with olive oil.
3. Place the knots in a ring around the skillet and set aside.
4. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, ricotta, fresh basil, 3 cloves of garlic (chopped), and red pepper flakes.
5. Melt the butter and add the fresh parsley and remaining garlic. Stir well.
6. Scoop the dip into the center of the skillet. Brush the knots with the butter/garlic mixture (reserving some for after baking), and top the dip with an additional sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
7. Bake in a preheated oven to 400˚F for 20 minutes. Broil on high for two additional minutes or until knots and cheese are lightly browned, watching closely so as not to burn it.
8. Remove from oven and brush lightly with additional garlic butter.

Let cool slightly before serving and enjoy!!
