ASDA and Iceland shoppers go wild for pasta that cooks in 30-seconds flat with barely any electricity

People who shop at ASDA and Iceland are going wild for a new type of pasta that cooks in 30 seconds flat and uses barely any electricity. The frozen pasta has been hailed a 'godsend' by some, while others say it's just plain 'lazy'.

Beroni pasta comes in two different shapes - penne and fusilli - and promises to cook in just 30 seconds. To cook it, you just need to blast it in the microwave for half a minute - which saves a considerable amount of energy compared to boiling a kettle and putting on a hob for ten minutes.

The new pasta, which costs £2.50 in Iceland and £2 in ASDA, was shared on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook page. It's caused a bit of a row (seemingly as with most things these days).
