In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juices, beef broth, Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until well combined and creamy.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil or parsley.
