How to take acidity out of spaghetti sauce?
I love making spaghetti at home, but sometimes the sauce turns out a bit too acidic, which gives me heartburn. What's a good way to reduce the acidity in my homemade spaghetti sauce?

Haan bhai, tomato sauce sometimes gets too sour. Just add a tiny pinch of sugar or even a bit of butter at the end, taste ekdum balance ho jayega na. I always do this at home.

Just add a pinch of baking soda while the sauce is simmering. It will foam up a bit, which is normal because it neutralizes the acid. Don't add too much, just a tiny pinch is enough.

A very old trick is to grate a small carrot into the sauce and let it cook. The natural sweetness of the carrot cuts the sharp acidity of the tomatoes beautifully without making it overly sweet. Give it a try next time!

I usually add some finely chopped onions and a little olive oil to neutralize the acidity of the tomatoes, as heavy sugar or cream doesn't suit my diet. It works well and is much lighter on the stomach.

Cooking with patience always brings out the natural flavours of the food. Let the tomatoes cook slowly on a low flame, and adding a little cream or milk at the end can make it very gentle for the stomach.

Adding a bit of grated carrots or a splash of heavy cream can balance the pH levels of your tomato sauce. However, if you are prone to severe acid reflux after eating pasta, it is best to consult your doctor for proper medical advice rather than just adjusting your cooking.
