Equipment

Large Mixing or Serving Bowl
Egg cooker optional
Sharp Knife
Cutting Board
Clear Wrap

Ingredients

16 ounces bow tie pasta prepared according to package instructions
6 hard boiled eggs
1 cup mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 cup dill pickles finely chopped
Salt
black pepper
paprika for topping

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled bow tie pasta, mayonnaise, white vinegar, sugar, and finely chopped dill pickles.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then stir gently until everything is evenly coated and well combined. (This step creates the creamy, tangy base that brings out those classic deviled egg flavors!)
Once your hard-boiled eggs have cooled, carefully peel them, then slice each one in half lengthwise. Coarsely chop the halves into bite-sized pieces—aim for chunky bits that add great texture without turning into mush when mixed into the salad.
Gently fold the coarsely chopped hard-boiled eggs into the dressed pasta mixture, stirring carefully just until everything is evenly combined. Be sure to use a light hand—you want to keep those egg pieces chunky and intact, not mash them into the salad!
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap (or a lid) and refrigerate the pasta salad for at least 1 hour—this chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully and makes it even more delicious.
When ready to serve, give the salad a gentle stir and finish with a generous sprinkle of paprika on top for that classic deviled egg look and a subtle smoky kick. Enjoy!
