This page for cooking features starter of traditional Italian food (9)
I believe the answer is:
spaghetti
'italian food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'this page for cooking features starter of traditional' is the wordplay.
'for cooking' indicates an anagram (letters prepared or cooked into a new form).
'features' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'starter of' indicates taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'traditional' is 't'.
'this'+'page'='thispage'
'thispage' with letters rearranged gives 'spagheti'.
'spagheti' going around 't' is 'SPAGHETTI'.
(Other definitions for spaghetti that I've seen before include "Type of pasta" , "Sort of food" , "Italian dish made from pasta, often Bolognese" , "meal" , "Long thing pasta" .)
