Meanwhile, cut pork into match-stick-size strips. In a medium saucepan heat Thyme-Mushroom Sauce, adding water if the sauce seems too thick. Add meat; heat through. Gently stir in tomato. Remove from heat.

To serve, turn pasta mixture into a serving bowl; top pasta and snap peas with mushroom sauce. If desired, sprinkle with cheese. Makes 4 main-dish servings.
