In large non-stick skillet, cook beef and onion on medium for 6 minutes or until beef is no longer pink and onion is softened; drain well.

Add broth and bring to boil on medium-high. Stir in pasta. Return to boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer, covered, 8 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes, green beans, tomato paste, oregano, cinnamon and garlic powder. Return to boil. Stir in 1/2 cup feta cheese. Simmer, uncovered 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 5 minutes for sauce to thicken slightly.
