Preparation
Generously season the pork shoulder with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Smoke over hot coals and hickory wood chunk until an internal temperature of 180 °F is reached. When the pork shoulder reaches your desired internal temperature remove from the smoker and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks.
In a large skillet sauté the chopped onion, chopped carrots, and minced garlic until onion is translucent. Add the red wine and increase the heat to medium-high and simmer for 5 minutes. Next, add the pureed tomatoes to the skillet along with oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Add the smoked pork and bring the sauce to a simmer and cover. Cook the sauce for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and pulls apart.
Remove the pork shoulder chunks from the sauce and shred it by pulling the pieces apart with two forks. Once the pork is shredded, add it back to the sauce and season the sauce with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer while you cook the pasta.
Cook fresh homemade pasta in a pot of boiling water and a pinch salt until done. Toss cooked pasta with a few tablespoons of sauce and serve hot with smoked pork and freshly grated parmesan cheese.
