Pasta Mix Substitutions

I'm going to be cleaning out my kitchen this weekend - including my pantry which holds a lot of foods that I bought before I went on Heather's diet.
I have a lot of Pasta-Roni mixes where you just add milk, water, and margarine for a creamy pasta side dish. So my question is - has anyone substituted the milk for soy milk and the margarine for rice butter in these mixes? Did they turn out okay? I know the soy milk and rice butter works for a lot of substitutions, but not sure in the creamy pasta mixes.
I'm sure I'll have tons more questions about substitutions as I continue cleaning. I hate throwing away good food!

Hi - You can definitely sub plain soy milk and soy margarine (or canola oil, or just leave the oil out). The trick here is to check the ingredients in the pasta sauce mix, as it's really like to contain dairy. If it doesn't, you'll be okay. If it does, there's really no way to make the dish safe (though you could just use the pasta and give the sauce packet away).

Ooh I never thought to check the mixes. I will definately have to do that.
And if it does, I think I will just keep the pasta and throw away the mixes! Thanks!
