deviled egg pasta salad

I never expected a random kitchen experiment to become my social currency, but that's exactly what happened with my Deviled Egg Pasta Salad. It started when I had leftover Easter eggs and pasta in the fridge and thought, "Why not combine my two favorite picnic foods?"

What makes this pasta salad stand out is how it captures all the familiar flavors of deviled eggs—tangy mustard, creamy mayo, paprika—but in a more substantial form. The pasta gives it staying power while the egg adds richness that typical pasta salads often lack. My colleague Janet, who usually avoids mayo-based dishes, asked for the recipe after trying it at our department lunch.

I appreciate how this dish comes together quickly with pantry staples and can be prepared ahead of time, actually improving as it chills in the refrigerator. It's become my reliable contribution to gatherings when I need something that pleases everyone from picky kids to culinary enthusiasts.
