I've been looking through some good pasta sauce recipes, and a couple
of them mention putting a pinch of baking soda into the sauce. They
say it makes the sauce sweeter and richer.

I've never heard of this -- is it true?

Do we remember what happens when you mix a base with an acid?

There ya go.

Not sure how it makes it "sweeter", but you might have less heartburn.

Personally, I'd not mess with my tomato sauce. I like it just fine the way
it is.
