Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil. After heating for about 30 seconds, swirl the skillet to coat the bottom. Add the onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef and heat, using a spatula to break up the meat as it cooks, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, and Italian seasoning; stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Once the mixture is simmering, stir in the pasta and frozen corn. Cover, and continue to simmer until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally. This will take 10-15 minutes, depending on the pasta type.
Remove from heat. Add the salt and pepper, then taste and adjust seasonings as desired. NOTE: The goulash will thicken as it sits and cools slightly.
If desired, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

To ensure even cooking, stir the mixture occasionally.
This dish can be modified by adding any additional vegetables you like.
Reheating works best on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth if needed.
