Head chef's strip? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noodle

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'head chef's' is the first definition.
'noodle' can be an answer for 'head' (I've seen this in another clue). I am unsure of the 'chef's' bit.

'strip?' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'Strip of pasta' mean 'noodle' so perhaps 'strip' could also mean 'noodle')

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for noodle that I've seen before include "See silly person" , "Foolish person or slangy head" , "Slangy head or piece of pasta" , "Ribbon-like strip of pasta" , "Simpleton - strip of pasta" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
