Long ribbons to wind around a legal title (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tagliatelle

'long ribbons' is the definition.
(ribbon-like pasta)

'to wind around a legal title' is the wordplay.
'to wind around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'legal'+'title'='alegaltitle'
'alegaltitle' anagrammed gives 'TAGLIATELLE'.

(Other definitions for tagliatelle that I've seen before include "Ribbon-like pasta" , "Ribboned pasta" , "Pasta in narrow ribbons" , "Italian dish" , "Form of pasta" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
