Mains

Combine simply seasoned pork shoulder leftovers with canned tomatoes for a quick and easy pasta dish. Serve a fresh green salad alongside and you'll have a delicious weeknight meal.

8 ounces of your favorite pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 28-ounce can tomatoes
2 cups cooked pork shoulder, shredded
Braising liquid from the pork shoulder
Parmesan cheese for garnish

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a tablespoon of salt and the pasta; cook pasta until al dente.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the garlic and sauté for a minute, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Add the pork and mix together.
When the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the sauté pan. Toss together, adding some of the braising liquid to moisten the pasta. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with cheese. Serve with additional cheese.
