I basically just threw this all together and changed it to my liking. I didn't use exact measurements when I made this, so I guessed close to the amounts for measurement. I'm sure you can add some other kind of vegetables with it.

Ingredients | Tomato Paste Substitute Ketchup

2 cups spiral-shaped noodles

2 slices bacon, chopped

½ cup chopped onion

¼ teaspoon minced garlic

½ cup heavy whipping cream

½ cup Thousand Island salad dressing

¼ cup pickled jalapeno pepper juice (Optional)

¼ cup ketchup

3 tablespoons steak sauce

½ teaspoon dried basil

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes; add onion and garlic to the bacon. Cook and stir the bacon mixture until the onions begin to brown, about 5 minutes more.

Stir cream, Thousand Island dressing, pepper juice, ketchup, and steak sauce with the bacon mixture; season with basil and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 5 minutes; add drained pasta and stir to coat.
