Directions
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter or heat up the olive oil.
Stir in 3 anchovies to the skillet, cook until melted, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute.
Stir in the bread crumbs and toast until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Clean and dry the skillet and return it to a medium-high heat stove.
Add the oil, the onion and a pinch of salt.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft and caramelized, about 18 minutes.
Chop the remaining 2 anchovies and put them to the skillet.
Cook until melted.
Stir in the kale or Swiss chard, a handful at a time, and cook until wilted, about 4 minutes. Cover and keep warm.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain well.
Toss with the kale mixture and bread crumbs, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.
Serve warm or chilled.
