I can roam about for pasta (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

macaroni

'for pasta' is the definition.
(macaroni is a kind of pasta)

'i can roam about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'i'+'can'+'roam'='icanroam'
'icanroam' is an anagram of 'MACARONI'.

(Other definitions for macaroni that I've seen before include "Italian fare" , "Hollow pasta" , "Slender tubes of pasta" , "Thin tubes of pasta" , "Omani car (anag)" .)
