Spaghetti alla Puveriello, or Poor Man’s Spaghetti, was invented in Naples during the war when ingredients were in short supply. It’s nothing more than spaghetti mixed with a little bit of fried egg and some cheese. Traditionally the eggs were fried with lard but I know this is not easy to find so you can use a combination of butter and olive oil instead. Super simple but really delicious, this is another great cucina povera dish. And next time you’re making a carbonara and accidentally scramble your eggs, tell them you were making this instead!

I make this all the time, when my carbonara goes wrong 😅
Wow❤❤❤…i never thought about it…i should try this🎉🎉🎉
I break the spaghetti in half, is that okay?
3 eggs? That's a rich man's spaghetti today I'm afraid 😂
I have to try it😋
21st century Cucina Povera has no room for grated Pecorino. Too expensive these days 😂
Not this dish sorry
I don't believe this can taste well
In Uruguay siamo tante persone che abbiamo ascendenza italiana quindi questo piatto é molto popolare
😊❤
Where's the salt???
With how the egg prices are going, I don't think this should be called poor man's spaghetti!

Growing up, my dad used to make us ‘spaghetti and egg’. Similar to this, except he’d beat the raw eggs in a jug, then add cooked spaghetti into a large hot frying pan, then pour over the beaten eggs and stir until they cooked, again similar appearance to this but our eggs were more spread out and smaller chunks.
That was it, some salt, black pepper and honestly sounds like nothing but it’s a childhood dinner I remember fondly and I even cook it for myself as a now 24 year old man as a treat.
Shut up everything and everyone, this is it
Carbonara is poor man’s pasta
This "poor man's spaghetti" looks food fit for a King to me !
Caccio e peppe with eggs?
Im drooling
Top man! Grazie! 🍷
You can't really call it poor man's pasta anymore because the cheese alone is expensive. Not all people can afford pecorino
Poor? The ingredients would cost me 300 euros in The Netherlands.
Please scramble my eggs.
Why do I not care what he’s cooking? 😂🙈😉
Olive oil 🇮🇹
Butter 🇬🇧
Unless you own a sheep, this is not cucina povera🤣
Thank you so much. Everything to cook looks great!
Vielen Dank für das Rezept .. lecker 😋
Mmmmmm!
My family lives in Naples. I would love to come visit. <3
How could it called poor man pasta when you pour a good amount of cheese there 😂
love this guy but is this recipe actually good or just a dish that exists but no one makes for a reason?
Pasta watuhh 😂😂😂😂
Poor man cannot afford Pecorino.. I think Aglio Olio is cheaper
This reminded me of the day I did a spaghetti aglio e olio and decided to put a fried egg on top. Super simple, cheap and delicious.
I wanna marry this man ❤
I never had this .. but it sounds delicious
I saw this on pasta Grammar but it was just spaghetti with oil and a fried egg. Interesting to see another
considering how expensive pecorino is where I live, this is no poor man's spaghetti 🤣
