Red tomatoes contain a lot of acid that gives a lot of people heart burn or as Italians like to say agada. Yellow and white tomatoes have low acid and can be cooked and not need the acid skimmed off. What this recipe lacks in acid it makes up for in being a little spicy hot depending on your tastes, from the green chili and sausage. There are different kinds of gluten free pasta; this recipe used De Boles gluten free rice lasagna, which is already cooked, so it saves time and is ready to be layered into a delicious lasagna.
