Italian dish on plate that's broken (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

polenta

'italian dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'on plate that's broken' is the wordplay.
'that's broken' indicates an anagram.
'on'+'plate'='onplate'
'onplate' with letters rearranged gives 'POLENTA'.

(Other definitions for polenta that I've seen before include "thick mush" , "Cornmeal -- on plate (anag)" , "Lepanto (anag.)" , "Friulian foodstuff" , "Cooked meal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
