Working time approx. 50 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water for about 10 minutes, or until al dente. Pour into a sieve, rinse with cold water, and let cool completely. Boil the eggs hard for 10 minutes. Clean and wash the spring onions or leeks and slice them into thin rings. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Rinse the eggs in cold water, peel them, and let cool slightly. Slice the eggs. Remove the Mettwurst from the casing and cut into small cubes. Thinly slice the gherkins. Mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, and garlic in a large bowl. Mix with salt, pepper, mustard, and about 4 tablespoons of the gherkin juice and season to taste. Stir all ingredients except the egg slices into the mayonnaise and let stand for about 30 minutes. Stir the pasta salad again before serving and season with salt and pepper, stirring in a little more gherkin juice if desired. Arrange the egg slices on top.
