Ingredients

1 pound whole wheat spaghetti
6 Italian anchovies (the little nice ones in fancy jars are fine)
1 bunch Italian leaf parsley (or other parsley fine)
1 red onion
2 pieces cloves garlic sliced
1 pinch hot red pepper flakes

Directions

1

Put salted water on to boil in large pot.
2

Once water has boiled and you've just added box of pasta, heat a skillet with olive oil and sprinkle red pepper flakes (optional but I think essential), add sliced red onions and cook until slightly carmelized.
3

Once onions have cooked (about 5 minutes) add garlic and some parsley chopped and all anchovies. The anchovies will break apart which is fine, let everything continue to cook together until pasta is ready, on low-ish heat.
4

drain pasta retaining a bit of the water. Place pasta in saucepan with sauce and mix well, add salt and pepper to taste and a spoonful of pasta water if needed. Add big bunch of chopped parsley at very end. Heaven awaits!
