Spaghetti seasoning is an easy seasoning mix of flavorful herbs and spices that enhance pasta flavors. You can use the seasoning in many other things as well. This is an easy, flavorful, and a versatile homemade spice blend.
Spaghetti seasoning generally refers to a blend of herbs and spices added to spaghetti sauce or directly to the pasta to enhance flavor. This is a mixture of common herbs like oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes.
Seasonings add depth and flavor to the dish. Italian cuisine places importance on herbs that add flavors to simple dishes. Here's a basic recipe for a classic spaghetti seasoning blend.
