Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil, add 1 tablespoon of salt and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions, stirring now and then.
2. Melt 100 grams of butter in a medium pan over low heat. Once melted, raise to medium heat and add the 7 anchovies, breaking them down with a wooden spoon until they dissolve into the butter. Lower the heat again.
3. If using lemon, add its zest to the pan with a pinch of chopped parsley and stir quickly.
4. Reserve a mug of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and transfer it straight into the pan with the sauce.
5. Toss well with tongs to coat every strand, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water and tossing until glossy and creamy.
6. Turn off the heat, add the Pecorino Romano if using, and finish with more parsley. Toss once more and serve immediately.
