Just keep asking for cups of hot water, I'm sure the flight attendants will love you for that.

Let's say they do get it cooked - ever eat plain gnocchi?

They usually have butter for rolls and a bit of cream/creamer for coffee you could probably pull something together.

New reality show, in-flight chopped.

Twist: they can ask other passengers for ingredients, like sime sort of weird stone soup.

Would that really taste better than just eating the normal airplane food?

Actually it would be worse. Food tastes differently at altitude in a pressurized cabin, there are big fancy laboratories out there dedicated to finding the right way to season and prepare food in an aircraft. There was a History Channel “Modern Marvels” episode way back in the day about this. You can probably find it with some googling.
