Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil for about 30 seconds. Swirl to coat the skillet.
Add the onion and garlic, stirring occasionally until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, stir in the pasta and frozen corn. Cover and cook until the pasta is al dente, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove from heat and mix in the salt and pepper. Adjust seasonings as needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

The goulash will thicken as it sits and cools slightly.
Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables or spices.
For a twist, add shredded cheese on top before serving.
