Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat. Ensure it's fully cooked, then drain excess fat.

Introduce the chopped onion, diced carrots, diced celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.

Pour in the beef broth and water, then stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.

Bring the mixture to a boil, and add your chosen pasta. Cook it according to the package instructions until al dente.

If using spinach or kale, stir it in during the last few minutes of cooking until wilted.

Adjust seasonings as needed, and serve hot!
