Long thin strips of pasta (7)

I believe the answer is:

noodles

(Other definitions for noodles that I've seen before include "Simpletons (colloq.)" , "Thin strips of pasta for old ones" , "Pasta ribbons" , "On instrument casually plays" , "Narrow strips of pasta, or slang heads" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
