Step 1
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Drain excess fat if needed. Add pasta, beef broth, and diced tomatoes with juice. Stir to combine.
Step 3
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender, ~10 minutes.
Step 4
Lay cheese slices over the top. Remove from heat and cover for 1 minute until melted.
Step 5
Stir the melted cheese into the pasta. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
