Method

Heat the oil in a lidded, high-sided frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the onions with a pinch of salt for 12-15 mins until softened and caramelised. Add a splash of water if they darken too quickly.
Add the garlic, chilli, lemon zest, anchovies and their oil; cook for 2-3 mins until the anchovies start to break down. Add the greens and 200ml water; season, then cover and cook over a low-medium heat for 6-8 mins until the greens are tender.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti to pack instructions. Drain, reserving 100ml pasta water, then stir both into the greens mixture along with the lemon juice and most of the cheese.
Use tongs to toss together well until the cheese has melted and the sauce is glossy. Divide among plates, then top with the rest of the cheese and a twist of black pepper. Serve with the lemon wedges for squeezing over.
