Macaroni ruined material (8)
I believe the answer is:
marocain
'material' is the definition.
(marocain is a kind of material)
'macaroni ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' is an anagram indicator.
'macaroni' with letters rearranged gives 'MAROCAIN'.
(Other definitions for marocain that I've seen before include "Fabric of ribbed crepe" , "Material" .)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
