Ingredients
- 8 oz medium pasta shells
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation
Start by cooking the pasta shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent. Next, add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and no longer pink. Stir in paprika, salt, and pepper, then add the beef broth and heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Add the cooked pasta shells to the skillet and stir until well coated with the creamy sauce. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
