Spice Lab – Italian Classic Spice Blend (80g) - Dairy Free, No Added MSG

All the flavour of Italy in one sprinkle.

This is your “make it taste like an Italian kitchen” blend — built for quick sauces, roast veg, pizza nights, and anything that needs a herb-and-tomato lift without digging through six jars.

Chef Ian collaborated with Cherie from Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice to create a balanced Italian-style blend that works hard across your whole week.

Why it earns a spot in the Underground Chef pantry

Because it’s a true multi-tasker. One blend, heaps of jobs:

• Pasta + tomato sauces
• Pizza + garlic bread
• Roast veg
• Chicken + lamb
• Dips + dressings

This is exactly what we mean by: spices aren’t collectibles — they’re tools.

Flavour Profile

Herby, savoury and bright with a tomato-rich backbone — perfect for that classic Italian “depth without heaviness” finish.

How to Use It

Pasta / Sauce Hero

• Stir into sugo, bolognese, meatballs, lasagne, risotto, soups and stews.

Roast + Grill Upgrade

• Rub onto chicken, lamb, or veggies with olive oil before roasting or grilling.

Pizza Night Shortcut

• Sprinkle over pizza bases, garlic bread, toasties, wedges, or roasted tomatoes.

Quick Dressing / Dip

Chef Ian’s Tip

Add it early if you want depth (simmer into sauces).
Add it late if you want aroma (finish pizza, veg, or pasta at the end).
