Step‑By‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Open the biscuit dough and unroll it on a clean surface. Roll each piece into disks around 5 inches wide.
In a bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy.
Spoon filling into the center of each dough round. Gather edges and pinch to secure, shaping into a pumpkin. Tie with kitchen twine.
Place pumpkins on a baking sheet. Mix melted butter, parsley, and paprika, brushing over each pumpkin. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Remove twine from baked pumpkins. Insert a pretzel stick or pasta piece as a stem. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
