Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
4 cups beef broth
8 ounces uncooked penne pasta
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
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 minced garlic to the pot and cook until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice and beef broth.
Add the uncooked penne pasta, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.
