Step 1
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook
pasta, stirring occasionally, until al dente,
about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. In a bowl,
mix bread crumbs and Parmesan; set aside.
Step 2
In a 3-quart ovenproof pot, heat oil over medium
heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 4 minutes.
Increase heat to medium-high, add ground beef and
cook until beef is well browned, about 7 minutes.
Scrape beef into a colander to drain off excess
fat. Wipe out pan and return beef to pan; reduce
heat to medium.
Step 3
Preheat broiler. Stir tomatoes, salt, oregano and
pepper into beef and cook for 3 minutes. Add
reserved pasta and mix. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to
heat pasta. Remove from heat and stir in Cheddar.
