Put the potatoes in a pot with plenty of water and salt and cook. From the boiling of the pot after 5 minutes you can add the pasta.
Put the oil in a pan with the onion and chopped bacon.
Gently brown.
Add the peppers and salt.
Cook over high heat and covered for 10 minutes. At the end of cooking, add the coarsely chopped basil.
Once the pasta is cooked al dente, drain it, keeping a little of the cooking liquid. Pour the pasta with the potato chunks into the pan with the sauce.
Mix well.
