Add onions, carrots, zucchini and mushrooms to pan with the ground beef. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until veggies begin to soften.
Season with chili powder, smoked paprika and garlic powder. Stir well so the beef and vegetables are evenly coated.
Add uncooked pasta, beef broth and milk to the skillet. Stir in the tomato paste until well combined.
Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer, then lower heat to medium-low and cover with a lid. Simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened.
Simmer for an additional 10-12 minutes until the broth is reduced.
Once the pasta is cooked, remove from heat. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined.
Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
