Saute diced onion and minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes until softened.

Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks for about 5 to 7 minutes until browned. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Stir in tomato paste, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Pour in the broth and add rinsed orzo pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes until orzo is tender. Stir halfway through.

Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Let rest 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
