  3. Add uncooked pasta, beef broth, and milk. Stir to combine.

  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked and liquid is mostly absorbed.

  5. Stir in cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.

  6. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.
