Pasta served up in Turin or a campsite? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

macaroni

'pasta' is the definition.
(I know that macaroni is a type of pasta)

'up in turin or a campsite?' is the wordplay.
'up' is a reversal indicator (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'inoracam' can be found hidden inside 'turin or a campsite'.
'inoracam' reversed gives 'MACARONI'.

'served' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for macaroni that I've seen before include "sort of pasta" , "Type of pasta" , "Thin tubes of pasta" , "food at trattoria?" , "Pasta variety, eighteenth century dandy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
