American introduced to stuff by principal in Italy, pasta! (7)
I believe the answer is:
fusilli
'pasta' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'american introduced to stuff by principal in italy' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'american' could be 'us' (United States) and 'us' is present in the answer.
'stuff' could be 'fill' (fill is a kind of stuff) and 'fill' is present in the leftover letters.
'italy' could be 'i' and 'i' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fusilli that I've seen before include "Spiral pasta shape" , "Type of pasta" , "2 [PASTA]" , "Spiral pieces of pasta" .)
