Prepare the shirataki noodles according to the package instructions. This usually involves draining and rinsing them well, then boiling or microwaving to remove the fishy odor.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes. Stir well to combine.
Season the sauce with oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Once the sauce is ready, incorporate the prepared shirataki noodles, tossing them until evenly coated with the meat sauce.
Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
