This recipe for dried mixed herbs – often referred to as Italian seasoning – will provide you with approx. 8 tablespoons of ready-made flavour to add to your soups, stews, pasta dishes, and more.
I like to throw it into the likes of one-pot pasta and minestrone soup, a delicious bulgur pilav, or the cheesy herb seasoning that coats these delicious roasted parsnips.

- Dried oregano
- Dried basil
- Dried thyme
- Dried rosemary
- Dried parsley
- Dried marjoram (optional)
- Crushed red chilli flakes (optional)

I saw this pop up in a few of your pasta recipes so decided to give it a go. Quick, simple, and I add more marjoram than you suggest but I guess that's the beauty of doing it yourself. Now back to those pasta recipes!
