1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.

2

Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3

Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, then drain any excess fat.

4

Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

5

Add the medium shell pasta, stirring to ensure it is submerged in the liquid. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

6

Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined and creamy.

7

Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
