Preparation

Step 1

In Dutch oven or large deep saucepan, saute beef over medium-high heat, breaking up with spoon, until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Drain off any fat.

Add onion, garlic, green pepper, carrots, oregano, basil, salt and pepper to pan; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and 3 cups water; bring to boil.

Stir in macaroni; reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender but firm (al dente), about 20 minutes.

Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese and parsley.
