Not in the slightest authentic but.. When boiling pasta, get the water to a rolling boil (lid on), plop the pasta in and once it's boiling furiously again give it 2 minutes. Turn it off and leave it in the water with the lid on for at least 10 mins.. Works for us and saves gas.

I’ve started turning off earlier and letting it cook this way. Every little bit helps.

Once its switched off put a plate on the top and it will continue cooking by itself. Couscous is the same - add the boiling water, fork through, put the lid on the pan and let it steam by itself.

Also soak pasta for a while, takes even l less time to cook.

Been doing similar for over 40 years 😂🤣 but don't do the additional 2 min boil. Just bring it to the boil with the pasta in it, lid on/turn off power and leave. I find it quicker and cheaper to boil water in the kettle too… correct amount of course.
