This one is going to be super simple. I don't know why but I often get heartburn from regular pasta. It does not seem to be related to gluten intolerance, more likely pasta is just difficult to digest. Instead of pasta I've been cooking Soba noodles. Soba can be bought in Japanese and Korean stores, recently it had started to appear in regular grocery stores as well. When selecting Soba try to buy one that was made in Japan or Korea, so far locally made Soba that I have tried did not taste the same.
Cooking instructions are usually found on the packet but generally you are required to boil some water, salt it, add Soba and keep it boiling at low for about 6-8 minutes. Drain and pour some cold water over it.
Soba can be eaten cold, plain or with some soya sauce. It is also possible to make a delicious Japanese Soba soup, but I leave this for another post, which I will write once I master this recipe.
