as an accompaniment to...
As you pointed out, it is old italian (contraction of in +nel), and in this case it has an ironic/sacrastic meaning...basically, this gentleman used to eat pasta and nothing else but pasta!
I suggest "as an accompaniment to" to evoque the implicit irony.
Hope this helps!

you might say "pasta dishes", but just "pasta" would do as well!
