Italiano
When the stars make you drool,
just like pasta fazool,
That’s amore!
I have always been amazed by the fact that one of the typical dishes of Italian-American culture is in fact an “ordinary” dish: inexpensive in every age, not overly caloric (depending on whether and how much sausage or lard is added), easy to prepare.
Yet it is something that has entered the collective imagination as “American-Italian” as much as the white tank tops with sauce stains or greasy hair.
My conjecture is that the name, which literally means pasta and beans (“pasta e fagioli” in Italian, “fasule” in Neapolitan dialect) has always been catchy, and very suitable to be put in nursery rhymes or songs.
Let alone if those songs were interpreted by Dino Crocetti, aka Dean Martin…
Anyway: “don’t be a fool, eat pasta fasool!“. And cook it.
Using INOX BIM equipment, of course!
