In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add diced onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Pour in diced tomatoes (undrained) and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir in the pasta, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
