Tip

Storing Pasta

I store all my pastas in canning jars rather than the opened boxes. The pasta stays fresher, and the jars stack nicely, too, conserving pantry space. When I’m preparing my grocery list, I can see what I need at a glance. —Laurie S., Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Good texture, easy and quick to put together, not too spicy for the kids (6 & 10), 10 yr old asked if she could have leftovers for her lunch tomorrow. However, my dh and I did not care for it. I think pork w/o the bbq might be better for us. To be fair, we don't make many one pan meals. We prefer meat, grain & vegetable separate. If you like bbq pork it's definitely worth trying. It does make a huge pan full.

This was great! My kids love this recipe. I have made it several times for my family. I also substituted bbq chicken for the pork.

This recipe was amazing the only difference i did in making it was use regular onions as i did not have any green but i can not wait to try it with the green onions and green chills

I've been wanting to try this for awhile. I used my own leftover barbecued pork roast, which I cooked in the slow cooker yesterday. I did not use butter and did not have any peppers our would have used some. Used the whole can of beef broth (low sodium), added gradually for the pasta to absorb. I like the flavor of the cumin in the dish I also used medium whole wheat shells. I love this type of food...and especially new pasta dishes, but unfortunately such dishes are not my family's cup of tea. However, I enjoyed this for supper and will take it for my lunches this week. It does make a lot.

I made my own bbq pork as well and used the leftovers for this dish. Both my husband and I thought it was excellent and full of flavour.

Tried it last night for the first time. My kids werent thrilled because of the peppers but they are still young. Me and my husband thought it was delicious. We had the left overs for lunch. Super quick, cheap and easy to make.

I made my own pork bbq rather than use the (unhealthy) store-bought one. Good recipe.
