classic pasta salad with homemade mayo

Using a mixer, mix the egg yolks with the mustard and a little salt and pepper. Slowly (!) add the oil while stirring. This will form a relatively thick mixture. A little cucumber juice will flavor the mayo and give it a better consistency. Add the very finely chopped garlic to taste. The mayo is now ready. Cook the pasta until al dente and refresh under cold running water. Chop the hard-boiled eggs, Cabanossi, gherkins (save the liquid!), bell peppers, and apples and place in a large bowl. Drain the peas and carrots and mix everything with the mayonnaise. Now add the cold pasta and season with salt and pepper. If desired, you can also add more cucumber juice. There can be quite a lot of mayo in the salad, as the pasta will absorb a lot of it overnight. Refrigerate the pasta salad overnight and stir well before serving.
