Ingredients

- butter
- orecchiette 200g
- anchovies in olive oil 4, drained and cut into pieces
- cavolo nero 100g, large stalks discarded and leaves shredded
Method
-
Step 1
Fry the onions in a drizzle of olive oil and a knob of butter on a medium heat until they’re golden and caramelised. This will take about 30 minutes, so be patient. Add a splash of water to the pan if they’re sticking or catching, as this will help to soften them.
-
Step 2
Meanwhile, cook the orecchiette in boiling salted water for 10-13 minutes, or until tender, then drain, keeping a small cupful of the pasta water.
-
Step 3
Add the cavolo nero and anchovies to the onions and fry for a minute until the leaves have wilted and the anchovies melt into the onions. Add another knob of butter if the onions are sticking.
-
Step 4
Tip in the drained pasta and a splash of the cooking water. Season well, and toss to coat the pasta.
