Pasta? Cut it fine for cooking (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fettucini

'pasta?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cut it fine for cooking' is the wordplay.
'for cooking' is an anagram indicator.
'cut'+'it'+'fine'='cutitfine'
'cutitfine' is an anagram of 'FETTUCINI'.

(Other definitions for fettucini that I've seen before include "long ribbons" , "Of gold" , "Ribbon-like pasta" , "Italian course" , "Ribbon pasta" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
