In a large, deep skillet, cook bacon on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Transfer to paper towels using a slotted spoon.

Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat; add oil and onion. Cook on medium, stirring, until golden brown and softened. Stir in tomato, water, chili flakes and salt to taste. Cook 5 minutes.

Add herbs, bacon and pasta; cook until heated through. Remove from heat and toss with Parmesan. Season to taste with black pepper.
