Steps:
- Olive oil + bacon + onions (NOTHING ELSE) in pan until they're brown, then add 2 cups of H2O and the garlic (it burns easily, so you don't want to risk it with the bacon/onions). Bring to a fast simmer. Add about a cup of SMALL dried pasta, something like ditalini, orchetti, little bow ties, anything in that vein. Stir occasionally as the pasta cooks and absorbs the liquid. When the water's mostly absorbed and the pasta almost done add the GREENS. Hit this with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt, stir to incorporate, and then put the lid on this. Also if you can handle heat, I highly recommend some red pepper flakes here - CHOICE Wait 3 minutes, open lid and check if the rawness has cooked off the greens (should be dark green, glossy from olive oil), pasta is done. If not yet, give it another minute or two, but you should be close. Once greens ready and pasta done, dump out, feast.
