Cooking Tips

• For the pulled pork, you can use leftover pulled pork or cook a pork shoulder in a slow cooker until tender.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to the pasta for extra flavor and nutrition.
• If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little more chicken broth or pasta cooking water.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the pasta in a skillet with a splash of cream or chicken broth to keep it creamy and prevent it from drying out.
• Serve the creamy pulled pork pasta as a main course with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
