Preparation
Cook the tagliatelli pasta al dente in a big pot of boiling water with salt. Meanwhile chop the onions in small cubes, then fry them in a big pot with olive oil with a little bit of salt and oregano until they are tender and golden.
Chop the parsley and the garlic.
Drain the anchovies then add them to the pot with the onions and the persillade. Add pepper, then mix with a wooden spoon, just enough to reduce the anchovies into big pieces.
Drain the tagliatelli, add a little olive oil. Mix, then serve nice and warm with the anchovy garnishing, sprinkling the plates with parmesan at the last moment.
