Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add ground beef and cook, crumbling it with a spatula as it cooks, for about 3 minutes.

Add diced yellow onion, cooking and stirring frequently until softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Whisk in the beef broth and tomato sauce, bringing the mixture to a boil.

Stir in the small pasta shells, cover the skillet, and reduce heat to medium-low.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 10-12 minutes.

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the heavy cream.

Season the mixture with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.

Stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese until it is completely melted, about 2 minutes.

If desired, garnish the dish with chopped parsley.
