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 salt, like pizza and pasta sauces. ## How To Make Spaghetti Seasoning **Step 1:** Add the following ingredients to a small mixing bowl. - 1 tbsp garlic powder - 1 tbsp onion powder - 2 tbsp dried oregano - 2 tbsp dried basil - 1 tbsp dried rosemary - 1 tsp dried thyme - 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper - 1 tsp red pepper flakes ![All the ingredients added to a bowl.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Spaghetti-Seasoning-Step-1.jpg) **Step 2:** Mix well and store in an airtight container. **Step 3:** Shake the container a few times before using the seasoning and use it as desired. ![Ready spaghetti seasoning.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Spaghetti-Seasoning-Step-2.jpg) ## Pro Tips By Neha **Don't add** salt to the seasoning. If your dish already has the right amount of salt, adding seasoning later might make it too salty. Add the ready seasoning to a **spice grinder or food processor, if desired, to break up any larger herbs**. 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 flavor of homemade sauces like tomato, pasta, and pizza sauces. 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 a small glass jar and tie a ribbon around to make it look festive. ## Storage Suggestions Once mixed, store it in a clean, 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 each use to ensure the seasoning lasts longer. You can also freeze it for up to **6 months.** ## Other Seasoning Recipes We Recommend [![Egyptian Pistachio Dukkah Seasoning is a take on the classic spice blend that is a delicious combination of roasted nuts, spices, and seeds.
