Pasta in strings thrown at the pigs (9)
I believe the answer is:
spaghetti
'pasta' is the definition.
(I know that spaghetti is a type of pasta)
'strings thrown at the pigs' is the wordplay.
'at the pigs' can be anagrammed to 'SPAGHETTI'.
However, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spaghetti that I've seen before include "It's past eight, time for strange pasta" , "Type of pasta" , "Stranded fare" , "Italian food" , "something resembling tangled wires" .)
