Food from the Italian for "small strings" (9)

I believe the answer is:

spaghetti

(Other definitions for spaghetti that I've seen before include "The gas tip can produce a pasta" , "Popular pasta dish, maybe bolognese" , "Pasta to twiddle round your fork" , "meal" , "course" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
