Layered Deviled Egg Pasta Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Deviled Eggs:
    6 eggs
    2 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
    salt and ground black pepper to taste
    2 sprigs fresh dill
    Pasta Salad:
    3 cups farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
    2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
    2 cups chopped celery
    2 cups diced cooked ham
    4 cups chopped lettuce
    4 spring onions, thinly sliced
Preparation
    Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil. Remove saucepan from heat; let eggs stand in hot water for 10 minutes. Immerse eggs in a bowl of ice water and let cool, 1 to 2 minutes.
    Peel eggs and halve them lengthwise. Scoop yolks into a bowl. Arrange egg whites cut-side up on a plate.
    Mash egg yolks into a crumbly paste with a fork. Mix in 2 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise and mustard with the fork. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon egg yolk mixture into a small piping bag; pipe into the egg whites. Garnish with fresh dill.
    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and let cool, about 15 minutes.
    Mix cooled pasta with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
    Spoon pasta into the bottom of a large glass trifle bowl. Layer tomatoes, celery, ham, and lettuce on top. Arrange deviled eggs on top before serving. Garnish with spring onions.
