First, hard boil the eggs. Place eggs in the bottom of a saucepan, covering the eggs with an inch of water. Bring the water to a rapid simmer, remove from heat, and cover for 12 minutes. Plunge eggs into a bowl of ice water for about 10 minutes, peel, and set aside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>2. Cook macaroni according to the directions on the package. Drain, and run under cold water. Again, drain really well, and transfer to a large mixing bowl.<\/p>\n<p>3. Add onion and celery, grate the eggs on the large holes of a box grater. Add mayonnaise &#8211; I didn&#8217;t give a specific amount &#8211; it&#8217;s really a personal preference. Add it and toss, if you feel you need more, add some more.
