Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup prepared horseradish
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped peperoncini (or use the already sliced version)
  • 1/3 cup peperonicini juice (from the jar)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsps fresh oregano, minced
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 lb elbow macaroni, cooked al dente and cooled
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed

Instructions

  • In a large bowl combine mayonnaise, horseradish, sour cream, Parmesan, peperoncini, peperoncini juice, lemon juice, oregano, black pepper and red pepper flakes. (You can easily make this part a day ahead. Don't worry if the consistency is thin, the pasta will soak it all up.)
  • Add cooked pasta, eggs and peas to the mayo-horseradish mixture; combine well. Place in the refrigerator for at least four hours before serving.
