In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour and tapioca starch until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the eggs, olive oil, and sea salt.
Using a fork, whisk the eggs gently, slowly incorporating the surrounding flour until a dough begins to form.
Once the mixture is too thick to use a fork, knead the dough with your hands until it is smooth and elastic, about 2-3 minutes. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it comes together without being sticky.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. This allows the flours to hydrate properly.
Divide the dough into four equal parts to make handling easier.
Using a rolling pin or pasta maker, roll each dough portion out until it is about 1/8 inch thick, using a bit of tapioca starch to prevent sticking.
Cut the rolled dough into your desired dumpling shape. Common shapes include squares or circles for folding over fillings later.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of sea salt.
Carefully drop the dumplings into the boiling water, cooking in batches if necessary. Cook for about 6-8 minutes or until the dumplings float and are tender.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the dumplings from the water and transfer them to your prepared dish or serving plate.
Serve immediately with compliant sauces or as a side to your main dish. Enjoy your Whole30 homemade pasta dumplings!
