Crushed red pepper is legendary on pizza—sprinkle it on top for that classic pizza parlor heat. The flakes add spicy kick that complements cheese and tomato sauce perfectly. It's the finishing touch that pizza lovers reach for automatically.

Essential for Pasta

Red pepper flakes are traditional in Italian pasta dishes—use in arrabbiata sauce for spicy pasta, add to aglio e olio, season marinara sauce, or use in puttanesca. The heat and earthy flavor are fundamental to many classic Italian pasta dishes.

Italian Cooking Essential

Crushed red pepper is foundational in Italian cooking—sauté in olive oil at the start of cooking to infuse dishes with heat, add to Italian sausage, season meatballs, or use in Italian soups. The versatile flakes add depth and heat to countless dishes.

Beyond Italian Food

While traditional in Italian cooking, red pepper flakes work in many cuisines—add to Asian stir-fries, season tacos and Mexican food, use in Cajun cooking, add to eggs, or sprinkle on roasted vegetables. The moderate heat enhances food from any cuisine.

Easy to Use

Start with a small amount—1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon—and adjust to taste. The heat level varies by batch, so taste as you go. Add early in cooking to infuse dishes with heat, or sprinkle on top as a finishing touch. The flakes keep their heat for months when stored properly.
