<<< we found a different way to cook our pasta.
Instead of continuing to keep the stove going after adding the pasta to
the
boiling water, we simply dumped the pasta in and turned off the stove.
We'd
take the pot and cover it with some clothes to help retain the heat. As
it
sat for the 15 or so minutes it would continue to cook the pasta just
fine.
Without the aid of additional heat.>>>

I have done the same thing with rice to save fuel and it really works. I
do some camp chores while it simmers...it is usally ready in about 10
minutes after I turn it off.
