Preparation
Step 1
Bring an 8-quart stock pot of water to a boil and generously season with salt. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown beef, breaking up meat with a spoon. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Drain fat. Add garlic and onions to beef and cook until softened, 2 minutes. Add brown sugar, tomatoes, Worcestershire, and chili powder and simmer 10 minutes.
Drain pasta and add to skillet over low heat. Stir in half the cheese mixture and parsley; quickly toss together to evenly coat the pasta. Top with remaining cheese and cover with lid to melt cheese.
