Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add your macaroni pasta and cook according to the package directions, usually 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and rinse it briefly under cold water to stop the cooking process. Transfer the cooled pasta to a large mixing bowl.
  2. While the pasta cooks, prepare your hard-boiled eggs. Once cooled, carefully peel them and separate the egg whites from the yolks. Chop the egg whites into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the pasta. In a separate small bowl, mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly and then mix them back in with the egg whites.
  3. Chop your celery, red onion, and green onion, then add them to the bowl with the pasta and egg mixture. Incorporate the cooked and chopped bacon for added smokiness. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, grated garlic, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Aim for a creamy consistency that will coat the pasta salad beautifully.
  5. Pour the dressing over the pasta salad mixture and gently fold everything together using a spatula. Make sure all pieces are well-coated with the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the Creamy Deviled Egg Pasta Salad for at least one hour, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
  7. Just before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish it with extra sliced green onions and a sprinkle of paprika for a vibrant touch.
