Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

In a skillet, heat over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula and stirring occasionally. Drain any excess fat.

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef in the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Pour in the beef broth and milk, stirring to combine. Let it cook for a couple of minutes, allowing the mixture to simmer and reduce slightly.

Add the drained pasta to the skillet, combining thoroughly with the meat and sauce. Gradually add the cheese, mixing until it melts and forms a creamy sauce.

Taste and season with salt, pepper, and paprika if desired.

Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese or chopped herbs if desired.
