Italian fare (5)
I believe the answer is:
pasta
'italian fare' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for pasta that I've seen before include "Course of Italian" , "Staple food of Italian origin" , "dish of food" , "Macaroni, for example" , "Dish of dough made with durum wheat" .)
