Developed a legal title for food (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tagliatelle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'food' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'developed a legal title' is the wordplay.
'developed' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'legal'+'title'='alegaltitle'
'alegaltitle' with letters rearranged gives 'TAGLIATELLE'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tagliatelle that I've seen before include "Pasta dish" , "Pasta in narrow ribbons" , "Italian course" , "2 [PASTA]" , "Form of pasta" .)
