This recipe is perfect for when you’re too busy (or lazy) to go to the shops or to spend more than 13 minutes cooking your dinner. It’s a football-lovers’, store-cupboard-deploying classic. The flavoursome salty anchovy cuts through the sweet onion like a defence-splitting cross from midfield maestro Pirlo to galloping Gilardino [translation for non-football fanatics: 'very nicely']
Cook the spaghetti in abundant salted water according to the instructions. Meanwhile fry the onion in the oil for 5 minutes, then add the anchovies for another 5 minutes, until they break up. Add the drained pasta to the onion anchovy sauce and mix in the grated cheese. If it’s too dry add a spoonful or two of the pasta water (which by now, being a pro, you’ll have kept aside as a matter of course).
The recipe sounds quick and simple. It looks delicious, too. Thanks for sharing.
Drooling!!!!! Must try this but have to convince the hubby that anchovies are GOOD!!
