Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
4 cups beef broth
8 ounces uncooked penne pasta
1/2 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 the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
Add the diced tomatoes with their juice, beef broth, and uncooked penne pasta to the pot. Stir 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 well combined.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the pasta before serving.
