Notes:
About Meathead’s Memphis Dust. If you’d rather not make this rub from scratch you can buy Meathead’s Amazing Smoked Pork Seasoning & Dry Brine instead. It is very similar and, unlike the Memphis Dust recipe, already includes salt.

Method

  • Prep. Add the barbecue sauce, pasta sauce, and pulled pork to a large pot, then stir to combine.
  • Cook. Simmer over medium low while you cook the spaghetti. (For an extra smoky kick, let it simmer in a metal pan in your smoker or barbecue pit at 225°F for 15 minutes.)
  • Boil. Bring 4 to 6 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot and prepare spaghetti according to the instructions on the package. Once cooked, drain the spaghetti and return it to the pot.
  • Add the sauce to the spaghetti and heat the mixture over medium-low, stirring frequently until the noodles, sauce and meat are combined and heated through, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  • Serve. Plate the BBQ spaghetti for your family members and dust each serving with Memphis-style dry rub.
