Pasta: Italian at last, with a load! (7)
I believe the answer is:
noodles
'pasta' is the definition.
(noodles are a type of pasta)
'italian at last with a load' is the wordplay.
'at last' suggests the final letters.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a load' becomes 'oodles' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The final letter of 'italian' is 'n'.
'n'+'oodles'='NOODLES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noodles that I've seen before include "idiots!" , "Oriental pasta" , "Geese" , "Fools; pasta" , "Thin strips of pasta for old ones" .)
