# Directions:

Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Let the pasta sit off heat for 3–5 minutes to thicken slightly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
