Add spaghetti and cook according to package directions. Drain. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Chop when cool enough to handle. Add corn and scallions to the bacon fat in the pan; cook over medium heat, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, wine, salt and pepper and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the tomatoes are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add cream and bring to a simmer. Return the bacon to the pan along with the spaghetti and basil. Cook, tossing to coat well, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with pepper and serve with Parmesan, if desired.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
