Lidia Bastianich is an award-winning TV chef. Her specialty is Italian food. She says that the “secret ingredient” in Italian recipes is RED PEPPER FLAKES. I did not know that. I have tried to cook Italian food and never thought to add red pepper flakes. Although I do sprinkle it on my pizza. I don't usually have red pepper flakes in my spice cabinet. If you don't happen to have any, here are 6 alternatives or substitutes. 1. Ground cayenne pepper 2. Ground habañero pepper 3. Paprika 4. Chile de Arbol powder 5. Hot sauce (Tabasco OR Sirachi) 6. Chili powder Fortunately, I usually have Paprika OR Chili powder on hand.
