Step 1

Add water to a large, wide, skillet (something that will fit the pasta!) and bring to a boil.

Step 2

Once boiling, add in the pasta and stir. Do not salt this water! I know it sounds crazy, but the pasta will become too salty if you do!

Step 3

Cook pasta until just a tad under al dente, stirring almost constantly, so the pasta doesn’t stick! This is essential because we aren't using much water here.

Step 4

Drain off most of the liquid (and reserve), leaving just a touch to create the sauce.

Step 5

Turn heat to very low, add in anchovies and butter, and stir until melted. Add more pasta water as needed to create a nice saucy consistency.

Step 6

Fold in the cheese and stir until melted, adding more pasta water if needed.

Step 7

Turn off heat and wilt in greens, if using.

Step 8

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Try it before adding any salt, as it may not need any at all!

Step 9

Serve topped with more cheese and fresh black pepper.
