Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic clove.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and soft.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and no longer pink.
Stir in the minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the tomato puree and reduce the heat to low, simmering for 5-7 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Drain the cooked pasta and toss it directly into the skillet with the beef and sauce until well coated.
Serve the pasta in a bowl and finish with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese.
