Right to put tiny bit of vinegar in garlic mayonnaise for Italian dish (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ravioli

'italian dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'right to put tiny bit of vinegar in garlic mayonnaise' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to put' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tiny bit of' says to take the initial letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'garlic mayonnaise' becomes 'aioli' (I've seen this before).
The first letter of 'vinegar' is 'v'.
'v' inserted inside 'aioli' is 'avioli'.
'r'+'avioli'='RAVIOLI'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ravioli that I've seen before include "Fare" , "Pasta with savoury stuffing" , "dish in the trattoria" , "Italian pillow-shaped pasta" , "Small, filled cases of dough" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
