Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta shells and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Sauté Veggies: Add onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in paprika, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Make Sauce: Stir in tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until well combined.
Combine: Add the cooked pasta and cheddar cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheese is melted and the pasta is fully coated in the sauce.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
