Heap flour and make a well in it on a clean work surface. Break eggs into the middle of the well. Beat eggs with a fork. Stir eggs into the flour from the bottom of the well with the fork until the dough in the center is smooth or shiny.
With your hands, gradually incorporate the flour from the outside of the well toward the center, kneading gently until the mass of dough comes together. Knead the dough until it is smooth and resilient. You may need to add more flour, or you may not be able to incorporate all of the flour, depending on the humidity and the size of the eggs. If the dough is sticky or extremely pliable, knead more flour into it.
Divide the dough into three portions, cover with plastic wrap or an overturned bowl, and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes.
Roll the dough out very thin on a lightly floured surface, one portion at a time. If you have a pasta machine, follow the manufacturer's instructions for rolling out the dough into sheets about 1 millimeter thick. Use as desired.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water. Transfer pasta to a large serving bowl.
Place tomatoes in a medium bowl; season with sea salt and black pepper. Pour 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil over tomato mixture and toss gently; set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir shallot in hot oil until it begins to turn translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook and stir until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute more. Remove from heat.
Add shallot mixture, tomato mixture, and prosciutto to pasta; toss to combine. Use reserved cooking water to make mixing easier.
Top pasta with basil and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese to serve.
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
Coarsely chop the tomato and transfer to a small bowl. Sprinkle the tomato chunks with basil, olive oil, and salt. Set aside.
Once the water is boiling, stir in the rigatoni, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander, and then return the pasta to the pot.
Pour the tomato mixture over the pasta and toss to mix.
