Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the eggs into the boiling water. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs with the slotted spoon to the bowl of ice water; let cool completely, about 10 minutes. Peel the eggs and roughly chop.
Step 2: Meanwhile, bring a second large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 1 minute longer than the package directs. Drain, rinse with cold water, and let cool.
Step 3: In a very large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, pickle brine, vinegar, sugar, black pepper, paprika, 2½ teaspoons salt, and hot sauce (if using). Fold in the chives, celery, red bell pepper, onion, pickles, eggs, and pasta. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Garnish with paprika and chives before serving.
