I'm eight months pregnant right now and craving pasta like crazy! But traditional tomato sauce gives me wicked heartburn, so I developed this recipe for a low-acid tomato sauce with kefir. The baking soda helps to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes. All the yumminess of tomato sauce without the burn! Serve over the pasta of your choice.
