Cook pasta to al dente, about 7 minutes; drain; cool.
Cook eggs until they are hard boiled; cool, peel and chop.
In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, horseradish, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, chopped peperoncini, peperoncini juice, lemon juice, oregano, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. This can be done a day in advance, if desired. The consistency will be thin, but the pasta will soak it all up.
Add pasta, eggs and peas to the mayonnaise-horseradish mixture; stir well. Place covered, in the refrigerator for several hours.
Serve.
