Instructions
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 (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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
