Pasta, lots, following starter of nachos (7)
I believe the answer is:
noodles
'pasta' is the definition.
(noodles are a type of pasta)
'lots following starter of nachos' is the wordplay.
'lots' becomes 'oodles' (informal term for a large amount).
'following' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'starter of' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'nachos' is 'n'.
'oodles' after 'n' is 'NOODLES'.
(Other definitions for noodles that I've seen before include "Narrow strips of pasta, or slang heads" , "Far Eastern food" , "On instrument casually plays" , "Egg pasta; simpletons" , "Fools; pasta" .)
