What is in Italian seasoning?
Italian seasoning is a dried herb mix most often made of oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary and marjoram, sometimes with sage or red pepper flakes. It is an American-style pantry blend rather than a traditional Italian ingredient. Mix equal parts of the main herbs to make your own, and store it airtight.
