Place flour on a marble or wooden work surface. Make a well in the center and crack in eggs; add salt and tomato paste.

Mix in water 1 tablespoon at a time if dough feels too stiff.

Knead dough with your hands by flattening the ball stretching it and folding the top towards the center. Turn 45 degrees and repeat until dough is soft and smooth about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Shape dough into a ball. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm 30 minutes to 1 hour.
