Ok I will start with that... I am going to put it in the meat and let let it sit for awhile before I cook it.... so that the meat may absorb some of the flavors.
 
I simply add until it smells/taste rigtht.
 
Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I would recommend adding about 1-2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning to a pound of sausage. This will give it a nice, flavorful kick without overpowering the dish. Happy cooking!
