Somehow sold one of the pasta strips (7)
I believe the answer is:
noodles
'the pasta strips' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'somehow sold one' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'sold'+'one'='soldone'
'soldone' anagrammed gives 'NOODLES'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for noodles that I've seen before include "Fools; pasta" , "Thin strips of pasta for old ones" , "Egg pasta; simpletons" , "Oriental pasta" , "Geese" .)
