This goulash also features a touch of paprika—a nod to its Hungarian namesake. When serving, garnish with fresh herbs and grated cheese, and enjoy!

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed wok or saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring and breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon, until browned and darkened, about 8 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, some freshly ground black pepper, paprika, and Italian beef seasoning and toss to combine.

  3. Cook, stirring, until the paprika begins to brown and become fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir the tomato paste into the browned ground beef to coat, then cook until the paste thickens and darkens, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth to the beef mixture and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to incorporate them into the sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and add the cavatappi pasta. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 8-10 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat. Gently stir in the parsley and cheddar until the cheese begins to melt. Divide the goulash into 6 deep bowls and sprinkle with grated cheese and finely chopped parsley.
