Dumplings (7)
I believe the answer is:
gnocchi
'dumplings' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for gnocchi that I've seen before include "Small dumplings used like pasta" , "Italian dumpling made of potato, flour or semolina" , "A course in Rome" , "that is eaten" , "Pasta or potato dumplings" .)
