Fix insignia to uniform of French woman? End up cutting ribbons on board (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tagliatelle

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

'ribbons on board' is the definition.
'tagliatelle' can be an answer for 'ribbons' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'on board' bit.

'fix insignia to uniform of french woman? end up cutting' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'woman?' could be 'elle' and 'elle' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tagliatelle that I've seen before include "Pasta dish" , "2 [PASTA]" , "Ribbon-like pasta" , "Ribboned pasta" , "Italian course" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
