Badia Basil Spice, 4 oz

Dried basil sized for a working kitchen — the sweet, faintly licorice herb that carries Italian tomato cooking. A 4 oz jar handles weekly sauce nights, pizza dough, and a season of soups without losing aroma.

Common Uses

Marinara, pizza sauce, vodka sauce, baked ziti, lasagna, minestrone, pasta e fagioli, tomato soup, focaccia, Italian dressings and vinaigrettes, breading for chicken and eggplant parmesan.

Cuisine Context

Basil is the herb of Italian home cooking — it threads through Neapolitan pizza, Sicilian caponata, Tuscan ribollita, and Ligurian pesto-adjacent sauces. Mediterranean cooks beyond Italy use it in Provençal pistou, Greek tomato salads, and herb-forward bread bakes.

Pro Tip

Add basil twice when building tomato sauce — once early so it perfumes the simmer, again in the final minute so the top notes come through bright.
