2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
10 ounces, weight Sliced Button Or Baby Bella Mushrooms
1/2 whole Medium Yellow Onion, Diced
4 stalks Celery, Chopped
1/4 cups Red Wine (optional)
1 cup Frozen Corn Kernels (no Need To Thaw)

1
Heat oil in a large skillet or pot (about 3 quarts) over medium high heat.
2
Add mushrooms, onion, and celery and saute until mushrooms are tender, vegetables are softened, and any extra liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 6 minutes.
3
Add red wine, if using, and simmer until pan is almost dry, 4 to 5 minutes.
4
Add corn and cook until thawed and warm.
5
Pour in tomato sauce, tomato juice, and cooked pasta and stir to combine.
6
Simmer a few minutes to thicken the sauce, but not so long that pasta overcooks.
7
Off heat, toss with a little Parmesan cheese if desired.
8
Season with garlic salt and black pepper to taste, and serve in bowls.
9
Note: For the tomato sauce, almost any thick, slightly chunky sauce will do.

Ive tested the recipe using canned crushed tomatoes in puree as well as leftover homemade tomato soup.
