Spaghetti alla puveriello

Also known as poor man's spaghetti, spaghetti alla puveriello is a pasta dish consisting of spaghetti, a sunny-side-up egg fried in lard, pecorino romano, and pepper. The egg white should be soft and the yolk runny, so it mixes well with the other ingredients, and pasta water should be added to the dish to help create a sauce that will coat the spaghetti. The dish was created in Naples in the aftermath of World War II and is considered the ultimate cucina povera dish, as it's extremely frugal.
