In a large pan, over medium heat, heat up 1 tbsp olive oil.
Once hot, add in shallot and sauté for 1-2 minutes
Add in garlic, sauté another 1-2 minutes.
Turn heat up to medium high, add in ground beef. Break up to evenly cover the bottom of the pan and let sit to cook untouched for a few minuets. Once bottom in browned, start breaking up as it cooks and is no longer pink.
Turn heat down to medium and let 90% of fat cook off, stirring occasionally.
Add in garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Mix until combined.
Add in tomato paste, let cook until becomes darker red, about 2-3 minutes.
In the meantime, boil water for pasta. Add salt to water and cook noodles until al dente. (Usually a couple minutes less than package directions).
Over medium-low heat, add in tomato sauce to pan and let simmer for about 5 minuets. Then add in the heavy cream and let simmer until pasta is done.
Once pasta is done, drain and add to sauce. Mix until evenly combined and top with parmesan if desired.
