MANGIA

Classic Italian blend of garlic, basil, oregano, fennel, onion, thyme, cayenne, rosemary, marjoram, and parsley. Perfect for slow cooking where fresh herbs would turn dark or get bitter. SALT FREE.

Add to homemade red or white sauces for baked pasta dishes.

When making homemade pizza, brush dough with olive oil and sprinkle with MANGIA® before adding toppings.

Toss potato cubes or wedges with olive oil, salt, and Mangia®. Bake at 425 F for 20-45 minutes or until browned and tender.

Toss with oiled and salted breadcrumbs or croutons before toasting.
