Fry off a half pound of ground beef in a saute pan. Once mostly browned, sprinkle over garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt/msg, and black pepper, stir to combine.
Push beef to one side and add chopped green onion whites and garlic to fry in the fat for a minute before mixing with the beef.
Add a pint of low sodium stock to the pan along with 4oz of a hearty pasta (spirals/elbows/farfalle/ziti). Bring to a simmer and simmer til stock is evaporated/incorporated and pasta is done. Add water if necessary.
Once pasta is done, remove from heat. Add onion greens along with a slice of american cheese, a squirt of sour cream and a splash of heavy cream and return to heat over low, stirring til all is incorporated.
Season and remove from heat. Top with grated parmesan.
