Spoon, in a big way, with Della (5)

I believe the answer is:

ladle

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

'spoon' is the definition.
(I know that ladle is a type of spoon)

'a big way with della' is the wordplay.
'della' can be anagrammed to 'LADLE'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ladle that I've seen before include "Perhaps stock holder" , "It's used to serve soup" , "one in 10 [GRUEL] ?" , "Serving implement" , "Soup-server" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
