Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut beef into 1 1/4 inch cubes. Mix beef, onion, garlic, salt and pepper in a Dutch oven. Add olive oil and stir to coat meat evenly. Brown, uncovered, in preheated oven about 40 minutes, stirring once or twice.

Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Add broth, water and Italian seasoning. Cover and cook 1 hour until meat is almost tender.

Remove from oven and stir in tomatoes, kidney beans, ripe olives, canned olive liquid, carrots and macaroni. Sprinkle zucchini on top. Cover and return to oven to bake 40 to 45 minutes longer, until macaroni is tender. Serve with Parmesan.
