Ross

I believe the answer is:

orzo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pasta' is the definition.
(orzo is a kind of pasta)

'within equator zone' is the wordplay.
'within' indicates a hidden word.
'ORZO' can be found hidden inside 'equator zone'.

'located' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for orzo that I've seen is " Pasta".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
