Begin by heating some olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bacon to the pan, and sauté them together. Stir frequently until the onion becomes soft and translucent, and the bacon is lightly browned and fragrant. This should take around 5-7 minutes.
Once the onion and bacon mixture is ready, add the diced potatoes to the pan. Reduce the heat to low and allow the potatoes to cook slowly, stirring occasionally. You want to ensure the potatoes cook evenly and start to become tender, which will take around 10 minutes. During this time, stir gently to avoid sticking or burning.
After the potatoes are almost cooked through, add the cavolo nero to the pan. Cover the pan with a lid to trap the heat, and let everything cook together for an additional 10 minutes. This will allow the flavors to blend and the cavolo nero to soften.
Finally, add your cooked pasta to the pan and toss everything together. Sprinkle grated parmesan generously over the top and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm for a comforting meal.
