Variety of wheat with a high gluten content used to make pasta (5)

I believe the answer is:

durum

(Other definitions for durum that I've seen before include "Wheat for pasta flour" , "Type of flour used for pasta" , "Kind of wheat used to make pasta" , "Hard type of wheat" , "Kind of hard wheat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
