Memphis-Style BBQ Spaghetti
A quick and easy version of Memphis's unique barbecue creation.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 oz.) package uncooked spaghetti
- 9 ounces KC style barbecue sauce (make your own BBQ sauce with this recipe)
- 12 ounces traditional pasta (tomato) sauce
- 1 pound pulled pork (a perfect way to use up extra meat from The Easiest Authentic BBQ Pulled Pork Recipe Ever)
- Meathead's Memphis Dust (or try Meathead's Amazing Smoked Pork Seasoning)
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.
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.
