The sicilian dialect doesn't use very hard consonants, so a single "p" in the beginning of a word sounds more like a "b". In addition to that, the letters "st", like in "Pasta" or "basta", become a "sht", so it's pronounced either way as "bashta".
BTW: Does anyone know how and where to apply for a part in "Godfather IV"? 
I'm sorry I don't know, but if you find out, let us know. I think all of us on the board haved "earned" at least a spot as an "extra". Wouldn't that be a kick??
