Start by heating a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Toss in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

Incorporate the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula until it’s evenly browned. Drain excess fat.

Stir in the tomato paste, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, then cook for 2 minutes.

Pour in the beef broth, stir, and let it simmer for 5-6 minutes until slightly thickened.

Lower the heat, then gently mix in the Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.

Cook your high-protein pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and add it to the skillet.

Fold in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted.

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, then serve hot.
