Ingredients
- 1/2 pound whole-wheat penne pasta
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste or 4 flat fillets
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 bay leaf
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, a couple of handfuls
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Salt the water and add the pasta. Cook to al dente and drain.
Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the anchovy paste and let it melt into the oil. Add the onions and bay leaf and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook the onions until very soft and light caramel in color, about 20 minutes. Stir in the cream, and cook until heated through. Remove the bay leaf, then add the pasta and cheese and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Truthfully, I didn't think I would like this but figured I would try it after seeing the episode w/the pork pizziolla. I really liked it! And I don't even mind that, as usual, I made too much pasta- leftovers!

Absolutely loved this recipe! Easy, quick, and delicious. If you think you don't like anchovies...think again. Only advice, go easy on the salt. The anchovies have enough for all components. I wouldn't even salt the pasta water. Just under cook the pasta and let them finish cooking in the onions, anchovies and cream. They will absorb all the salty flavor they need then. Again, spot on recipe!
