Cook your pasta according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain the pasta (reserve 1/2 cup of the water to use later) and set it aside. Keep it warm if possible, or at least at room temperature.

Use a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and allow it to get hot. Add the onion and sauté it for about five minutes or until they start to soften.
Step 3
Add your pepper, anchovies, and garlic. Cook for a few minutes, stirring it often and breaking up the anchovies into small pieces. Pour in the broth and mix everything together. Toss in the crushed red pepper and cook until most of the liquid evaporates.
Step 4
Add the pasta to the mixture, along with the reserved water). Add the salt and pepper to taste. If you’re adding parsley, sprinkle it over the mixture now.
Step 5
Toss the pasta to coat it well and serve.
