Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Cook the bowtie pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the onion until soft, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the garlic and ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.

Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and paprika. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the Velveeta cubes and stir until melted and smooth.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until everything is coated evenly.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
