E.g. Alan's fresh pasta (7)
I believe the answer is:
lasagne
'pasta' is the definition.
(I know that lasagne is a type of pasta)
'e g alan's fresh' is the wordplay.
'fresh' is an anagram indicator.
'e'+'g'+'alans'='egalans'
'egalans' is an anagram of 'LASAGNE'.
(Other definitions for lasagne that I've seen before include "Italian food" , "Italian dish with layers of pasts and mince between" , "It. dish of pasta, meat and sauce" , "continental dish" , "Type of pasta" .)
