To Store: Spaghetti Seasoning should be stored in a cool dry place, like your since cabinet or pantry. I like to use a mason jar, but any airtight container will work. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)

- For a little heat, add a pinch or two of red pepper flakes.
- Substitute half of the kosher salt for sea salt.
- You can use dried garlic flakes or granulated garlic instead of garlic powder.

🍴 Serving Suggestions
This delicious and convenient seasoning blend is great for all kinds of Italian dishes like pasta with meatballs. Add 1-2 tablespoons of spaghetti seasoning to any of your favorite pasta dishes like chicken spaghetti, American goulash, creamy chicken pasta bake, Italian sausage mac and cheese, Greek Spaghetti, and more.
It’s great as a seasoning for garlic cheese bombs, meatball cupcakes, or garlic bread!
Of course, it’s amazing in leftover spaghetti casserole, too.
You can use it to make Italian chicken meatballs instead of Italian seasoning.
Dipping Oil
You can also make a delicious dipping oil. In a small bowl, add 1 tablespoon of seasoning with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese. This with some crusty bread is one of my weaknesses!
