Finished a lasagne? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pasta

'lasagne?' is the definition.
(lasagne is a kind of pasta)

'finished a' is the wordplay.
'finished' becomes 'past'.
'past'+'a'='PASTA'

(Other definitions for pasta that I've seen before include "Staple food of Italy" , "tagliatelle perhaps" , "The stuff of spaghetti, macaroni etc" , "Processed flour dough" , "dish of food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
