1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onion, and ground beef, and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat.
2. Stir in chicken broth, tomatoes, beans, chili powder, and cumin; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a simmer and stir in pasta. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer until pasta is cooked through, about 13-15 minutes.
3. Remove from heat. Top with cheese and cover until melted, about 2 minutes.
4. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

Enjoy your delicious pasta dish!
