Creamy Beef and Pasta Shells

Ingredients:

1 lb medium pasta shells
1 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions:

Cook pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in tomato sauce, beef broth, heavy cream, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
