Brown a pound of ground beef, drain fat. Throw in a can of diced tomatoes, a small can of tomato paste and a can of tomato sauce. Dice a small zucchini (I only used 3/4 of the zucchini) and two carrots. Add a cup of water to the skillet, then season with lots of paprika, some basil and black pepper. Stir in a cup of uncooked macaroni, and simmer for 30 minutes until the macaroni is done. Add a little water if it starts looking too dry before the pasta is soft.
I used to make this with orange and yellow bell pepper instead of the zucchini and carrot, until my body decided that bell peppers were the fruit of Satan and that I should be punished for eating them. It wasn't bad with the new substitutes, and it reheats really well for lunch the next day.
