Italian dish to drop, getting in the way (7)

I believe the answer is:

lasagne

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

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

'drop getting in the way' is the wordplay.
'drop getting' becomes 'sag' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in the' indicates putting letters inside.
'way' becomes 'lane' (lane is a kind of way).
'sag' inserted within 'lane' is 'LASAGNE'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lasagne that I've seen before include "The Italian dish is a gas, Len" , "Tasty Italian dish with layers of mince in pasta" , "Lea sang out for the pasta dish" , "Course" , "Type of pasta" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
