Sweet and Good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was the first meal that I cooked for my husband since we're newly weds. He absolutely loved it. Next time I will add... some pork and chicken too. The recipe was very easy to follow.Read more

4th of July tradition
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for 4th of July '08, and I remember following the recipe to a T. My hubby/in-laws/neighbor LOVED it! Marinating... and roasting the pork butt in BBQ sauce first, before shredding, amplifies the flavor. I am getting ready to make it again for today's celebrations. Thank you Neelys, for adding yet another winner to our 4th of July spread!!!Read more

Very Tasty!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this sometime ago and it was great. Oh yeah, for those of you who appear to have problems with Gina and Pat's love for... each other, get a life. Perhaps if they were constantly at each other's throats and in the tabloids all the time, that would make you more comfortable with them. What a sad world we live in.Read more

WOW - unexpected but I kind of dig it
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I am very traditional about my pasta, and at first I was a little taken aback by this concept of BBQ Spaghetti but after... seeing the pulled pork in it, I was sold. Looks good. If I ever make ribs I will surely try this but I won't tell my Nonna! I wrote about the BBQ spaghetti on my blog: mortadifame.blogspot.comRead more

Screams Memphis BBQ
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Okay when you think spaghetti, this is not the recipe, but I don't think it's supposed to be. My mom is from Memphis, so... even though I grew up in Chicago and now live in Houston, I can respect this recipe because it screams Memphis BBQ. I personally really like the recipe. For the anonymous people with all of the negative comments, rate the recipe not the Neely's, Gina, or their relationship. GET SOME!!! YOU MIGHT BE HAPPIER !Read more

What was I thinking?
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I thought I would try something outside the box. Both my husband and I thought it was way too sweet. We tossed it out and ate... the rest of the plain pasta will butter and cheese. For those wanting to make this anyway I will save you some work. Open a jar of your favorite BBQ sauce add some cooked pork and microwave till hot. Add to cooked spaghetti. You now have this recipe. I can't believe my taste if so far off from those that thought this tasted good.Read more
