I believe the answer is:
al dente
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">pasta specification</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for al dente that I've seen before include "(Of pasta) cooked, but not too soft" , "Of pasta or vegetables, firm when bitten" , "(Of pasta) firm when eaten" , "Not soft to eat" , "(Of cooked vegetables) still firm when bitten" .)
