A speedy, very piquant, store-cupboard meal. This Venetian pasta dish is traditionally served with bucatini or bigoli, both types of thick spaghetti with a hole running through the middle. Use spaghetti or linguine as an alternative. The longer and slower you're able to cook the onions, the deeper and sweeter this pasta will be.

Ingredients

200g pasta - linguine or spaghetti
3 tbsp olive oil
300g onions, finely chopped
20g anchovy fillets
salt and pepper
