Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the pot. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Stir in the diced carrots and celery, cooking for an additional 3 minutes until they begin to soften.

Add the transfer the can of diced tomatoes (with juice) into the pot, followed by the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, basil, oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Bring it to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the elbow macaroni. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 7-8 minutes, until the macaroni is tender.
