Instructions
-
Cook pasta until al dente.
-
Mash (in this order) garlic, anchovies, and olives using a mortar and pestle, or just chop them finely together. Set aside.

Using a fork, crumble the Parmesan cheese.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced red onions and cook until slightly caramelized. Add halved tomatoes and cook for a couple of minutes. Pour in broth or wine and cook for another two minutes, then pour in garlic/anchovy/olive mixture. Stir and continue cooking for several minutes, or until sauce is nice and reduced and wonderful. Add salt and pepper to taste.
-
Drain pasta and add to the skillet. Add the crumbled Parmesan and toss to coat pasta in the sauce.
-
Tear basil leaves and sprinkle over the top. Serve right out of the skillet.

(Note: Bucatini is extra delicious in this dish.)
