Heat a large pot over medium-high. Add beef, onion powder and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper. Brown 7 to 10 minutes, breaking up meat with back of a spoon. Drain fat.
Stir in tomato paste and cook 1 minute. Add pasta and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often, until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Meanwhile, combine cheese and cornstarch. Once most (but not all) of the liquid in pot is absorbed, remove from heat and add cheese-cornstarch mixture. Stir until combined and cheese is melted. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
