Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 pound lean ground beef
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
14 ounces can diced tomatoes, undrained
8 ounces can tomato sauce
1 ½ cups beef broth
1 ¼ cups elbow macaroni, or gluten-free pasta alternative
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

In a large saucepan or dutch oven, drizzle olive oil and set it over medium heat.
Coarsely chop the onion and add to the heated oil; sauté for 1 minute.
Add ground beef, gently breaking up with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook for roughly 5 to 6 minutes, or until beef is browned and no longer pink.
Add the minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir to disperse evenly.
Stir in the canned tomatoes, tomato sauce and beef broth. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer for 4 minutes.
Add the elbow macaroni and cook uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes, or until noodles are tender.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with parmesan. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
