Spaghetti Seasoning Recipe: Try This Simple Blend for Authentic Italian Flavor!

Alright, so I wanted to whip up some pasta the other day, but I was tired of the same old boring sauce. I remembered I had some spaghetti seasoning packets lying around, but they just tasted, well, kinda bland. So, I thought, why not try making my own? I mean, how hard could it be, right?

I started by rummaging through my spice cabinet. I grabbed some of the usual suspects: garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried basil. I figured those were a good starting point. Then I thought, what else could give it some kick? I spotted some red pepper flakes and thought, yeah, that’ll do it. A little heat never hurt anyone, right?

Next, I had to figure out the amounts. I didn’t want to make a huge batch, just enough for a couple of meals. I started with about a tablespoon of each of the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and basil. Then I added about a teaspoon of the red pepper flakes. I also threw in a pinch of salt and black pepper, just because.

Mixing It Up

  • First I mixed everything in a small bowl.
  • Then I gave it a good stir and then a little taste.
  • It was pretty good, but it was missing something.
  • I added a pinch of sugar. Just a tiny bit to balance out the flavors.

Boom! That was it! It tasted way better than those pre-packaged mixes. I stored it in a small airtight container in my spice cabinet.

I used it that night in my spaghetti sauce, and let me tell you, it was a game changer. The sauce had so much more flavor, and that little bit of heat from the red pepper flakes was perfect. I’ve used it a few times since, and it’s still just as good. I even sprinkled some on garlic bread, and it was amazing.

So, there you have it. My little adventure in making my own spaghetti seasoning. It was super easy, and it made my pasta dishes so much better. I’m definitely going to keep experimenting with different spices and herbs. Who knows what other delicious combinations I’ll come up with?
