    For the pasta

    • Pasta (a pound of bowtie farfalle, rigatoni, or orecchiette)
    • Salt

    Sautéed onions and peppers

    • Olive oil
    • Yellow onion, red pepper, and yellow pepper
    • Salt
    • Butter
    Large pan with Leftover Pulled Pork Pasta.

    For the creamy pulled pork pasta sauce

    • Sherry vinegar (optional, substitute red wine vinegar)
    • BBQ pulled pork leftovers (2 cups – use pork shoulder or substitute diced pork loin or pork roast)
    • Alfredo sauce
    • Parmesan cheese
    • Parsley

    How to make pulled pork pasta

    Step 1. Cook pasta. Add water to the stove in a large pot on high or medium-high heat. Once the water boils, add 2 tsp salt and cook pasta as directed to al dente.

    NOTE: Don’t cook pasta until it is completely soft, you want to cook it 1-2 minutes less than the instructions direct so it has a little “bite” to it – the pasta will continue cooking in the sauce later in this recipe.

    Once done cooking, drain pasta and set to the site, reserving ½ cup pasta water for the sauce later.

    Step 2. Saute onions and peppers. While the pasta is cooking, start cooking the onions and peppers. Add all ingredients for the onions and peppers to a large pan or large skillet on the stove, on medium heat or medium-high heat.

    Sauté all ingredients (except for the butter) for ~5 minutes, stirring regularly. Add butter and cook for another 5-10 minutes, stirring regularly. Turn off heat on the burner until you’re ready for the next step.

    Step 3. Reheat leftover pulled pork with sautéed vegetables. Add pulled pork and sherry vinegar to the large pan with the sautéed peppers and onions. Turn the heat to medium and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring regularly until liquid dissolves.

    Step 4. Add Alfredo sauce and reserved pasta water. Continue to stir pulled pork and pasta for about 2 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken (almost before it is back to a thick Alfredo sauce consistency).

    Step 5. Finish the pulled pork pasta dish and serve. Add cooked pasta to the large skillet and toss with pulled pork and sautéed onions and peppers until combined. Turn off the heat and top with parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of parsley. Serve immediately.

    FAQs for using leftover pulled pork and pasta

    What is the best way to prepare pulled pork?

    You can make slow cooker pulled pork in the crock pot or roasted in the oven, but my personal favorite method is sous vide pulled pork —it is easy, hands off, and always results in flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork. I make sous vide pork tacos with it all the time.

    What goes well with pulled pork recipes?

    Other comfort foods like air fryer mac and cheese balls, instant pot or sous vide corn on the cob, or blue cheese cole slaw, or grilled chicken wings with ​​barbecue sauce make great sides. To start the meal, try a strawberry feta salad or peach salad.

    What can you make with leftover pulled pork other than pasta?

    Try this pulled pork pizza, pulled pork tacos (see my sous vide pork tacos for inspiration), pulled pork sandwiches with red cabbage slaw, make gourmet nachos, add shredded pork to shepherd’s pie or egg rolls, or make leftover pork quesadillas. You can even start breakfast with barbecue pulled pork breakfast tacos.

    What kind of pasta is best for holding in sauce?

    Wider noodles do well with creamy sauce like the one in this leftover pulled pork pasta. My favorite for this recipe is farfalle bowtie pasta—there’s lots of real estate for the thick creamy sauce to coat. You could also use large or jumbo shells like in my stuffed shells recipe.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
