3In a large skillet, add 2 Tbs. of olive oil and 2 Tbs. of butter. Heat until butter is melted and well combined. Add chopped onion and garlic. cook until almost translucent. Add wine. Cook until onions and garlic are translucent and tender. Next add seasonings one at a time; rubbing in the palm of your hand to crush well before adding. When completely cooked, stir into the meat.
-
4When pasta is cooked, drain thoroughly. Pour meat mixture, cheeses, pasta sauce, drained canned corn and add brown sugar. Stir well, mixing thoroughly over medium heat to heat well throughout.
