Ingredients

• 8 ounces pasta (like fettuccine or penne)
• 2 cups pulled pork (cooked and shredded)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

How to Make Pulled Pork Pasta with Creamy Sauce

1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pulled pork and sauté for 3-5 minutes until heated through.
3. Stir in the barbecue sauce and chicken broth, mixing well. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors.
4. Reduce the heat to low and add the sour cream, stirring until the sauce is creamy and well mixed. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta with the creamy pulled pork sauce.
6. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a richer flavor, use homemade barbecue sauce or your favorite brand.
• Don’t overcook the pasta; it should be firm to the bite for the best texture.
• Incorporate some grated cheese into the sauce for extra creaminess.
• Ensure the pulled pork is well-seasoned for maximum flavor.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the pulled pork for shredded chicken or beef for a different protein.
• Add veggies like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to the sauce for added nutrition.
• For a spicy kick, mix in some diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce.
• Use a different type of pasta, such as whole wheat or gluten-free.

What to Serve With It

• Garlic bread for a comforting side.
• A crisp green salad to balance the richness.
• Roasted vegetables for added flavor and color.
• Coleslaw for a crunchy, tangy contrast.
