Penney’s Little Italy (Fresco Spice Blends): oregano, garlic, basil, unrefined sea salt, red pepper flake. Check the label if you’re avoiding something specific. To mix a similar blend, about 1 Tbsp: 1½ tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, ½ tsp garlic powder, and ¼ tsp red pepper flake. Salt to taste.
