Easy Homemade Red Pasta Dough Recipe

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Italian tipo "00" flour, or more to taste
• 3 large eggs
• 1.5 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tablespoon water, or as needed

Instructions

1. Create a well with flour on a clean work surface. Crack eggs into the center, then add tomato paste and salt. Gently mix the eggs and tomato paste with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour until the dough becomes runny. Use a bench scraper to bring in the remaining flour until a ball forms. If the dough feels too stiff, mix in water, one tablespoon at a time.
2. Knead the dough by flattening, stretching, and folding it towards the center. Turn it 45 degrees and repeat this process for about 10 minutes, until the dough becomes soft and smooth.
3. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for 30 to 60 minutes, or until firm.
4. Roll out the dough using a pasta machine or rolling pin and shape it into your favorite pasta.
