Lasagne Spice Blend

Origin & Story

Lasagne is one of the best-known layered dishes in Italian cuisine. The base is usually tomato sauce, meat ragù and béchamel – each component needs balanced seasoning. This blend was developed specifically for lasagne built the classic way, but works just as well in vegetarian versions. The aroma profile is finely tuned: restrained, yet clearly defined.

Highlights

Flor de Sal provides a fine base saltiness. Fruity tomato forms the heart of the blend, joined by thyme and basil as classic herb components. Onion and nutmeg add subtle warmth, while Malabar pepper brings a nuanced heat. The blend is finely ground, easy to sprinkle and bake-stable. It was developed and made exclusively at Manufaktur Funke. The exact recipe remains my secret.

Quality

All ingredients are processed fresh, single-batch and in small quantities – no additives, no technical aids, no artificial flavourings or anti-caking agents.
The best spices have always inspired me to create new dishes. Only the best is good enough to reach the very top – for you, in your kitchen.
100% natural. Just the way I use it myself, every day.

Tip from Tobias Funke

Both tomato sugo and béchamel sauce benefit from a finely measured seasoning with this blend. It's especially worth a light scattering on the final layer before baking – for a rounded finish.
