1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 (14.5-ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained, broken up
1 (13.75 to 14.50-ounce) can ready-to-serve beef broth
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/2 pound small mushrooms, halved
4 ounces uncooked mostaccioli (1 1/2 cups)
