Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, ~5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Drain excess fat if needed. Add pasta, beef broth, and diced tomatoes with juice. Stir to combine.

  3. Step 3

    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender, ~10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Lay cheese slices over the top. Remove from heat and cover for 1 minute until melted.

  5. Step 5

    Stir the melted cheese into the pasta. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
