Boil your eggs. (See below for my favorite egg cooker to make this super easy)
Boil your pasta (I use gluten-free elbow macaroni)
While the eggs are cooking, chop your veggies (a food processor makes this quick and simple)
Chop your peeled eggs and set aside
Mix your sauce in a separate, small bowl and season to your liking
Combine your veggies, chopped boiled eggs, and pasta into a large bowl
Pour your sauce mixture and combine it all to a level of creamy perfection
Chill for the best flavor, and give it a mix before serving
Here is my favorite Egg Cooker
that is affordable and makes for a mess-free and easy method for boiling eggs. It makes perfect boiled eggs every time and sings a precious tune to alert you that it's done cooking.
If you need a solid food processor, this Ninja Food Processor
has served me well for several years! It's not the cheapest option, but it won't let you down.
