Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 12 ounces dry pasta (penne, rotini, or similar)
• 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
• 3 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add ground beef to the pot and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Stir in the Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper to evenly coat the beef mixture.

Step 6

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth, stirring well to combine.

Step 7

Add the dry pasta to the pot, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 8

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked al dente and has absorbed most of the liquid.

Step 9

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
