Got a source for your "typical British pronunciation" of "pasta" being non-Italian? I read your comment as asserting that typical Brits pronounce it as "par-sta" with a non-rhotic 'r', but I don't think I've ever heard anyone except the Australian John Torode pronounce it that way.

That is exactly the opposite of what TillE wrote. If that were how the British already pronounced the word, there would be no need to change the spelling.

This is just infantile. You can verify the pronunciation yourself in any number of ways.
