• Add anchovies to onions and stir. Mix in butter and 1 tablespoon water. Gradually stir in milk. Remove from heat.
• Cook pasta to taste, reserve 1/2 cup cooking water and drain. Add pasta to anchovy sauce. Mix in a bit of cooking water. Add 2/3 of parsley and toss. Place pasta in bowls, garnish with parsley and serve.

MIDNIGHT PASTA WITH GARLIC, ANCHOVY, CAPERS AND RED PEPPER

Steps:

• Put the spaghetti in a large pot of well-salted rapidly boiling water and cook only until firmly al dente. (Depending on the brand of pasta, this will be 8 to 10 minutes, but check frequently to see. )
• While the pasta is cooking, warm the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, without letting it brown. Stir in the anchovies, capers and red pepper and cook for a half-minute more, then turn off the heat.
• Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Pour in the garlic mixture, add the parsley, if using, and toss well to coat. Serve with grated Parmesan if desired.
