  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
  • 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth

  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, paprika, Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the elbow macaroni; reduce heat and cover, simmering for about 10-12 minutes until pasta is al dente.
