Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and let it warm until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  2. Carefully add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until nicely browned.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute, ensuring it doesn't burn.
  4. Pour in the beef broth, stirring well to combine. Increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in your pasta of choice, ensuring it’s fully submerged in the broth. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low, cooking for 10-12 minutes until the pasta is tender.
  6. Remove from heat and sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring gently until melted and creamy.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, garnishing with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.
