Salt

Steps:

Place a large pot of salted water for pasta over high heat. Place a large, heavy-based pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Toss in onions, reduce heat to low, and sauté until soft, about 10 minutes.
Add anchovies to onions and stir. Mix in butter and 1 tablespoon water. Gradually stir in milk. Remove from heat.
Cook pasta to taste, reserve 1/2 cup cooking water and drain. Add pasta to anchovy sauce. Mix in a bit of cooking water. Add 2/3 of parsley and toss. Place pasta in bowls, garnish with parsley and serve.
