Sheets to be taken in hang loosely in passage (7)

I believe the answer is:

lasagne

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

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

'hang loosely in passage' is the wordplay.
'hang loosely' becomes 'sag' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'passage' becomes 'lane' (I've seen this before).
'sag' put inside 'lane' is 'LASAGNE'.

'to be taken in' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lasagne that I've seen before include "Baked pasta dish" , "It. dish of pasta, meat and sauce" , "Italian sheets" , "The Italian dish is a gas, Len" , "Sheet pasta" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
