- Heat the oil in a lidded, high-sided frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the onions with a pinch of salt for 12-15 mins until softened and caramelised. Add a splash of water if they darken too quickly.
- Add the garlic, chilli, lemon zest, anchovies and their oil; cook for 2-3 mins until the anchovies start to break down. Add the greens and 200ml water; season, then cover and cook over a low-medium heat for 6-8 mins until the greens are tender.
- Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti to pack instructions. Drain, reserving 100ml pasta water, then stir both into the greens mixture along with the lemon juice and most of the cheese.
- Use tongs to toss together well until the cheese has melted and the sauce is glossy. Divide among plates, then top with the rest of the cheese and a twist of black pepper. Serve with the lemon wedges for squeezing over.
