Ingredients

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs 2 more if you want them for a garnish
  • 8 ounces small pasta shapes I like shells or ditalini tubes
  • ¾ cup mayo
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons pickle juice or vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 ½ tablespoons red onion finely diced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 slices bacon cooked, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon paprika for garnish
  • 1 stalk green onion sliced for garnish

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and add the pasta.
  • Stir and cook until the pasta is al dente (or firm but done). Drain and run under cold water to cool down.
  • Peel the hard-boiled eggs if not already done.
  • Take 3 of the eggs and chop into small pieces. Place in a small bowl.
  • The other three eggs, slice in half and separate the yolks from the egg whites.
  • Dice the egg whites and add to the other chopped egg.
  • In a large bowl, place the 3 egg yolks. Smash with a fork into small pieces like you would do when making deviled egg filling.
  • Stir in the mayo, mustard, pickle juice, salt, and pepper. Combine and taste. Adjust the seasoning if you need to.
  • To the bowl with the dressing, toss in the cooled pasta, red onion, and chopped egg.
  • Toss to coat.
  • Sprinkle it with paprika and garnish with sliced green onions.

Notes

  • Cook pasta al dente so it doesn't get too soft.
  • For an extra creamy dish, pulse the yolks in a food processor, smash fully with a fork, or press them through a sieve. This gets the yolk in very small pieces making them easy to mix.
  • Add in your favorite deviled egg filling flavors to make it your own.
  • Want some extra texture? Fold in some diced celery, water chestnuts, or diced bell pepper.
  • Like pickles? Dice up some dill pickles and toss in.
  • Sprinkle in your favorite seasoning mix like Cajun or steak seasoning.
