About Spaghetti Seasoning
Spaghetti Seasoning is a delicious mix of a few herbs and spices that instantly elevates the taste of pasta. Not only pasta, but it can also be used to flavor soups, pizza, or homemade sauces.
I almost always store a bottle of this spice mix in my pantry. It comes in handy when I want to quickly elevate the taste of my dishes.
This seasoning uses seven simple ingredients and comes together in under 5 minutes.
It is similar to the classic Italian seasoning but has a few different ingredients that make it taste different.
This spaghetti seasoning recipe makes approximately ½ cup of seasoning mix.
Ingredients
You will need garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil, dried rosemary, freshly cracked black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
If you like fennel flavor, add some ground fennel to the seasoning for an added taste.
I don’t add salt to this seasoning, so it can be used in dishes that already have added salt, like pizza sauce and pasta sauce.
How To Make Spaghetti Seasoning
Add the following ingredients to a small mixing bowl.
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Mix well and store in an airtight container.
Shake the container a few times before using the seasoning and use it as desired.
Pro Tips By Neha
Don’t add salt to the seasoning. If your dish already has perfect salt, adding the seasoning later might make it very salty.
Add the ready seasoning to a spice grinder or food processor to break up any larger herbs if desired.
You can adjust the red pepper flakes as per your liking.
Usage Suggestions
This homemade spaghetti seasoning mix is specially made to elevate the taste of spaghetti pasta.
You can also add it to soups, pizza, open toast, garlic bread, bruschetta, meatballs, lasagna, garlic bread, homemade bread, or Italian gravies. It will perk up the taste of homemade sauces like tomato sauce, pasta sauce, pizza sauce, etc.
You can also use it to make grilled veggies, ground beef, chicken, shrimp, or any other meat.
It makes for a great homemade holiday gift. Pack it in small glass jar and tie a ribbon around to make it look festive.
Storage Suggestions
Once mixed, store it in a clean and dry airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months. Although you can store it for longer, the potency decreases with time.
Use a dry spoon for every use, ensuring the seasoning lasts longer.
You can also freeze it for up to 6 months.
