While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil and pepper in a large frying pan over medium heat until the pepper is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the rosemary, thyme, and basil, and then add the bacon, cooking it until it starts to render some fat, about 1 minute. Stir in the onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and cook until the onion wilts and the bacon takes on a bit of color around the edges, about 5 minutes.
