Pasta e fagioli. Can't read it without an Italian accent, can you? Can't read it without the computer screen fading away, being replaced by a red checker cloth with a candle flittering by breadsticks. (Or cheesy pull-apart bread, as you'll make here.) One, or three, glasses of red wine later, and this perfect bowl of pasta and vegetables is set down in front of you. You glance up at the waiter, who, twirling his mustache and in a deep, boisterous Italian accent down to the arm motions, triumphantly announces it: “pasta e fa-joe-lee!” Is that Dean Martin singing “That's Amore” in the background or in your heart after you finish this meal? Delizioso!
