I believe the answer is:
semolina
'lemon is a strange pasta' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for semolina that I've seen before include "Wheat powder" , "Lemon is a strange pasta" , "Hard particles of wheat used in puddings etc" , "dessert" , "A lemon is used in the pudding, strangely" .)
