Can you use dried tarragon in spaghetti sauce?

Here are some things to keep in mind:

* Dried herbs are more concentrated than fresh herbs. You'll need to use less dried tarragon than you would fresh. A good rule of thumb is to use 1/3 the amount of dried herb compared to fresh. So, if a recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of fresh tarragon, you would use about 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon.

* Dried tarragon has a slightly stronger, more bitter flavor than fresh. To avoid overwhelming the other flavors in your sauce, start with a small amount of dried tarragon and add more to taste.

* To get the most flavor out of dried tarragon, crush it between your fingers or use a mortar and pestle before adding it to the sauce. This helps release the oils and aromas.

Dried tarragon can add a wonderful, slightly licorice-like flavor to your spaghetti sauce. Enjoy!
