Recipe Ideas & Kitchen Tips

This seasoning isn't just for bread! Try these versatile ways to use the mix:

  • Classic Pasta Aglio e Olio: Sauté the dry seasoning in olive oil for 1 minute, then toss with cooked spaghetti and a splash of pasta water for a quick, flavorful meal.

  • Herb-Roasted Chicken: Rub the dry seasoning and a bit of olive oil under the skin of a chicken or over chicken breasts before baking for a savory Italian crust.

  • Zesty Vinaigrette: Whisk a tablespoon of the prepared oil with a splash of balsamic or red wine vinegar for an instant, homemade salad dressing.

  • Seasoned Pizza Crust: Brush the edges of your homemade pizza crust with the prepared oil just before baking for an extra burst of flavor.

  • Marinated Mozzarella: Toss fresh mozzarella pearls or cubes in the dipping oil and let them marinate for an hour for a perfect appetizer or salad addition.

Chef’s Note

"For a more complex flavor, add a drop of balsamic glaze to the center of your dipping bowl or a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top just before serving."
