Directions:

1. Pasta Directions
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta when ready and cook until done.
3. In a small bowl mix together the heavy cream, egg yolks, and ¾ of the Parmesan cheese.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crisp. Add the shallots and green onion.
5. Crush the garlic to open it up a bit. Add to the pan and heat while the shallots and green onions cook. Remove garlic from pan.
6. When the pasta is finished cooking, drain and add to the pan with the bacon. Toss to combine.

8. Top each plate with cooked scallops, grated parmesan and black pepper.
9. Scallops Directions
10. Dry the scallops with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.

12. Add the scallops, leaving space in between each one. Only put about 3-4 scallops in a pan at a time.
13. Sear each scallop for about 2-4 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Turn to sear the other side.
14. Sear the second side for about 1-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown. Add 2 tbsp butter to the pan and spoon the melted butter over the scallops as they finish cooking.
15. Transfer to a plate and keep warm until all batches are cooked.
