Tortellini With Chili-Tomato Sauce image

My mom was cleaning out one of her closets and came across several folders full of recipes that she had clipped from magazines and newpapers over the years. I'm not sure what publication this is from but it's really good. You can use canned jalapenos if you don't have fresh.

I'm not a big fan of tortellini, but this recipe might change my mind. It sounds really good.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tortellini turned out mushy. I think I might have overcooked them.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll probably try making it again with less chili next time.
