Cooking instructions

To cook 100 grams of pasta you need on average 1 liter of water and 7 grams of salt, i.e. a teaspoon of fine salt, plenty if large. 1. Bring 3-4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. 2. Add salt. 3. Add XXX Pasta and cook following the instructions on the pack (Stir occasionally). 4. Drain gently and serve.   Passive cooking, also known as flame-out cooking, is a technique that has existed since the mid-19th century. It is an alternative method for cooking pasta that allows you to save energy and reduce CO₂e emissions by up to 80%*. To adopt it, simply turn off the stove after 2 minutes of active cooking, cover the pot with a lid and wait for the right cooking time. Obviously, as with all cooking methods, following the correct times is essential.

Reduce Environmental Impact During Cooking

  1. Use only as much water as needed
    On average 1 liter per 100 grams of pasta. This way you reduce your impact on water resources.
  2. Put the lid on the pot
    The water will boil in less time.
  3. Add the salt when the water is boiling.
    Salt slows down the boiling by wasting gas.
  4. Turn off the heat halfway through cooking
    Putting the lid on, the pasta continues to cook even when the heat is off.
  5. Reuse the pasta cooking water for washing dishes
    Avoiding having to heat another one.
