How to use Italian seasoning

Italian seasoning is a dried blend of familiar herbs — usually basil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme. It's the all-purpose shortcut to making savory food taste like a home-cooked Italian dinner, with no salt added. Reach for it any time a dish tastes a little flat.

Savory and herby, warm and a little earthy.

Why it's in your bag

A dried herb blend adds depth and aroma with zero sodium or sugar — exactly the kind of flavor-builder that makes blood-pressure- and heart-friendly cooking taste great.

Ways to use it

  1. 01
    Stir into sauce or soup (easiest)

    Add a teaspoon to any tomato sauce, soup, or simmering pot to make it taste slow-cooked in minutes.

  2. 02
    Season before roasting

    Toss it with vegetables or rub it on chicken before roasting so the herbs toast and bloom in the heat.

  3. 03
    Lift plain pasta

    Sprinkle over cooked penne with a little oil, garlic, and cheese for an easy weeknight dinner.

Try it on

  • Tomato sauces and soups
  • Pasta and grain dishes
  • Roasted vegetables
  • Chicken and turkey meatballs
  • Eggs and omelets
  • Olive oil, as a bread dip
