Baltic capital into fresh pasta (8)
I believe the answer is:
rigatoni
'pasta' is the definition.
(I know that rigatoni is a type of pasta)
'baltic capital into fresh' is the wordplay.
'baltic capital' becomes 'Riga' (capital of Latvia, a Baltic state).
'fresh' is an anagram indicator (a fresh re-ordering of the letters).
'into' is an anagram of 'toni'.
'riga'+'toni'='RIGATONI'
(Other definitions for rigatoni that I've seen before include "Type of pasta" , "Short fluted tubes of pasta" , "Pasta dish" , "Short, ribbed, tubular pasta" , "Form of pasta" .)
