Tuscan Pasta Spice, a Mediterranean herb blend for pasta, pizza and sugo
Tuscan Pasta Spice is our Mediterranean spice blend of 15 ingredients, mixed by hand in our manufactory in Klingenberg am Main. The profile: a herbal, warm opening of basil and oregano, fruity depth from tomato flakes in the middle, and a savoury, chilli-driven finish from garlic and chilli. This is the taste of Italy — on a quick weeknight pasta just as much as in a slow Sunday sugo.
Use
Tuscan Pasta Spice seasons every Italian classic: pasta sauces for spaghetti, tagliatelle, lasagne and penne, plus pizza and tomato sugo. It works just as well in bolognese, caponata, risotto, roasted vegetables, fried potatoes and Mediterranean stews. Cook it in or scatter it over the finished dish.
Important: the blend is deliberately intense. Add it carefully in small steps and taste at the end — garlic and chilli only develop their heat as they cook.
Quick pasta sauce in five steps
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a pan.
- Briefly soften one finely diced clove of garlic.
- Add a can of chopped tomatoes and a tablespoon of Italian tomato paste.
- Stir in half a teaspoon of Tuscan Pasta Spice and simmer for five minutes.
- Season with Luisenhaller deep salt, spoon over the cooked pasta and serve.
What is in it?
The base is Mediterranean herbs: basil and oregano set the sunny tone, rounded out by thyme, rosemary and bay. Tomato flakes add fruity depth, garlic and chilli bring the savoury heat, and fennel, coriander, star anise and myrtle complete the blend aromatically. Fifteen ingredients in total, sourced individually, checked by taste and only then blended.

Frequently asked questions
What can I use Tuscan Pasta Spice for?
For every Italian classic: pasta sauces, pizza, bolognese, lasagne, tomato soup and caponata. It also suits fried potatoes, roasted vegetables, risotto and Mediterranean stews.
How do I dose Tuscan Pasta Spice correctly?
Sparingly, because the blend is intense. Half a teaspoon per person while cooking is a good start, and a pinch is enough for scattering. Garlic and chilli grow hotter as they simmer, so season to taste at the end.
Is Tuscan Pasta Spice vegan?
Yes. All ingredients are purely plant based.
How is it different from Italian herbs?
Plain Italian herbs mainly add herbal aroma. Tuscan Pasta Spice adds savoury depth and a fine heat as well, so you can build a complete pasta sauce with it alone.
How do I store Tuscan Pasta Spice?
Cool, dry and dark in a tightly closed tin. That keeps the aroma and colour of the herbs at their best for longest.
