Ever thought about how much energy it takes to make pasta? (www.sciencealert.com)

Oddly, I hadn't put much thought into the energy costs of cooking pasta before....

This article estimates the UK spends £4,690,000 per week on it! And suggests possibly greener ways of cooking it. It's a small amount per person, but there's a lot of people (I hope) making pasta!
