Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add ground beef and onion, and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat.

Step 2

Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Stir in chicken broth, tomatoes, beans, chili powder, and cumin; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 4

Stir in pasta. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 13-15 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat. Top with cheese and cover until melted, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
