      Title: COLD TEXAS TORTELLINI
 Categories: Italian, Pasta, Salads, Vegetables
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 lb Tortellini (I used cheese)
      1 c  Olive oil
    3/4 c  White wine vinegar
    1/2 ts Pepper
      2    Garlic cloves; minced
      1 ts Chili powder
      1 ts Dry mustard
      1 ts Paprika
    1/2 ts Cumin
      1 ts Salt
      1 ds Tabasco (to taste)
      1 c  Diced green peppers
    3/4 c  Diced red onions*
  2 1/2 c  Chopped tomatoes**
      1 c  Minced parsley
      6 tb Picante or barbecue sauce
      1 c  Grated Cheddar cheese
           Shredded lettuce (opt'l.)
 
  *Original recipe called for 1 c. red onions but I thought the taste
  was too strong.
  
  **Original recipe called for 2 c. tomatoes.
  
  Add tortellini to a large pot of rapidly boiling salted water. Boil
  for about 25 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Drain.
  
  Mix all above ingredients, except Cheddar cheese and lettuce. Add
  tortellini; toss well.  Chill; marinate 2 to 4 hours. Sprinkle with
  Cheddar cheese.  Serve on bed of shredded lettuce (opt'l. - I just
  served as is).
  
  Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
  
  On back of 1 lb. box of Amore brand cheese tortellini. Distributed by
  Liberty/Ramsey Imports, Universal Foods Corp., Carlstadt, NJ 07072.
  First had this at Dabo's in 1986 in Pensacola, FL. Valerie Sloane,
  one of the co-owners, gave the recipe to me.  Tried at home on
  06/18/87. Posted by Cathy Harned.
