In a heavy-bottomed skillet, cook bacon until almost crispy. Remove bacon from the pan but leave the grease. Add onion and cook over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, prepare pasta al dente according to package directions. Drain.

Add the greens and cook until onions are caramelized and greens are wilted and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Add butter or additional bacon grease if the onions and greens seem dry.

Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Add finished onion/chard and bacon to pasta and stir well to combine. Season to taste with salt & pepper.
