Servings: 8
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.
