Instructions
1. Cook the pasta
Boil the penne pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Brown the beef
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add aromatics and tomatoes
Stir in diced onion and garlic, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Add chopped tomatoes, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 5–7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
4. Combine with pasta
Add the cooked penne to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the beef mixture.
5. Melt the cheese
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the pasta. Cover and cook on low heat for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted.
6. Serve
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with a side salad or garlic bread.
