Cook spaghetti to al dente in salted water; drain.
Cook bacon in a large saute pan until crisp; chop roughly; set aside.
Season scallops with salt and pepper; pan sear in the bacon grease for about 1½ - 2 minutes per side; set aside.
Remove bacon grease from the pan; add olive oil and garlic; cook for a minute to slightly soften the garlic.
Add white wine and stock; simmer quickly for a few minutes until the liquid has reduced by about one third. Add whipping cream; simmer for another 2 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper if desired; add bacon, tomatoes and scallops to the sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to warm the scallops before adding the cooked pasta and Parmesan cheese. Toss the pasta and sauce before serving.
4 servings.
