Italian Seasoning Recipes

Italian seasoning is a pantry herb blend typically made with dried basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and sometimes marjoram, sage, or parsley. It brings a savory, aromatic flavor to quick weeknight recipes without needing to measure several herbs separately.

Use it in tomato sauces, pasta bakes, roasted vegetables, soups, meatballs, marinades, garlic bread, and chicken or fish dinners. Because the herbs are dried, Italian seasoning works best when given a little time, heat, or oil to release its flavor.

For the brightest taste, add it early to simmered dishes like marinara, chili, minestrone, or pizza sauce, and use a lighter hand when sprinkling it over finished foods. If your blend contains salt, adjust the recipe seasoning accordingly.
