Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in diced tomatoes with their juice and beef broth, stirring to combine.
Add uncooked penne pasta and bring the mixture to a boil.
