Italian Herb Paste Recipes
Italian herb paste is a concentrated blend of basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and other classic Mediterranean herbs, often preserved in oil or salt. Unlike dried herbs, this paste delivers a fresh, vibrant flavor that instantly elevates sauces, marinades, and dressings. It's a convenient shortcut for adding depth to dishes without chopping fresh herbs.
Use Italian herb paste to enhance tomato sauces, pizza, pasta, roasted vegetables, and grilled meats. A spoonful stirred into olive oil makes a quick bread dip, or mix it into softened butter for garlic herb butter. It also works well in vinaigrettes and as a rub for chicken or fish before cooking.
Because the paste is concentrated, start with a small amount and adjust to taste. It can be used straight from the jar or diluted with oil or water. Store in the refrigerator after opening to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
