For some reason i feel i need more food recipes, and more uses for salt…
1 Gnocchi and butter:
Mash a baked potato in a bowl using a round stone, add flour, pour on a flat rock in the shape of a cylinder, cut with knife to get raw gnocchi.
Put raw gnocchi on a crock with salt water and boil. Get cooked gnocchi with a plate and add melted butter (optional sage leave in the butter before melting, found in grassland)
2 Very complicated Italian pasta:
Italian pasta is extruded with a bronze die. Put copper and alum in a crucible and forge. You get a bronze bar. Forge again and use a smithing hammer or newcomen to get extruding die: 1 hit for spaghetti, two for penne, three for lasagne.
Combine the interchangeable die with a steel cylider and a wooden crank and get your pasta extruder. Use a bowl of dough on the extruder and get your raw spaghetti, penne or lasagna foil.
Put raw pasta in an already boiling crock with salt water and quickly use a basket on it to get basket of strained spaghetti/penne/lasagna foil. If you are not quick enough you get unedible overcooked pasta.
Put spaghetti or penne in a large bowl and add cooked sauce - tomato (found on jungle biome) for spaghetti and vodka + cream (or cooked ham + cream) for penne.
For lasagna, put a single lasagna foil on a large pan, add either cooked carnita or cooked minced cow meat, add a third of a bowl of white sauce (cooked butter+flour+milk), add another lasagna foil and so on for a total of three layers. Cook on hot oven like you do for cake, slice and put on plate 
(You also should be able to feed lasagna to cats
