Mexican Tortellini

I made Mexican pasta today. I got this recipe from Vegetarian Times Magazine. I will make this again! I had to modify it some because I realized too late I didn't have any chili powder oops. Here's the recipe:

Ingred.

1 tsp.chili powder *(I used taco seasoning)

frsh sliced mushrooms or 1 sm. can sliced mushrooms

It asked for taco seasoned soy crumbles but I didn't use

Shred. Cheddar cheese(lowfat) Or my preference *Monteray Jack cheese

1 pkg. 3 cheese tortellini

6 plum tomatoes *(I used 1 can diced tomatoes)(coarsely chop.)

1-2 tbsp.Veg. oil and diced garlic(I didn't use)

Cook pasta accord. to directions. Drain. If using the garlic saute' in veg oil

for 30 sec. and add tomatoes & chili powder.* ( I added some j. from canned tomatoes( just a little) and drained the rest of the liquid. Added drained canned mushrooms and added some taco seasoning and heated the tomato mixture) Cook the tomatoes & chili powder for 5-8 min.

remove from skillet. Add mushrooms and soy crumbles. saute 2-3 min. Stir in tomatoes and cheese, cook stirring often, 5 min more. Top pasta w/ soy crumble sauce.
