Cooked tapas and ziti, say (5)
I believe the answer is:
pasta
'ziti say' is the definition.
(ziti is a kind of pasta)
'cooked tapas' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked into a new form).
'tapas' is an anagram of 'PASTA'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for pasta that I've seen before include "Spaghetti, perhaps" , "The stuff of spaghetti, macaroni etc" , "Linguine, e.g." , "Rigatoni, tortellini etc" , "E.g. fusilli" .)
