Can you cook pasta with the gas turned off? This is now a pressing question for me — and millions of Italians — as the Kremlin weaponises natural gas in an effort to punish Ukraine’s allies.With Gazprom squeezing gas supplies to Europe and fuel bills surging, Italy has urged its citizens to save energy with “virtuous actions” such as shorter showers, turning the heating down, and running washing machines and dishwashers fully loaded. What caught my eye, though, was the official advice to lower the flames on stoves once water pots are boiling — a seemingly cryptic guideline that Italians immediately understood as an instruction to use less gas while cooking pasta.
你能關了天然氣把意大利麪煮熟嗎?現在這對我以及數百萬義大利人來說是一個緊迫的問題。因爲克里姆林宮正將天然氣作爲武器,以懲罰烏克蘭的盟友。
