I believe the answer is:

eaten

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

'might be?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't understand how they can define each other.

'what some pappardelle at enzo's' is the wordplay.
'EATEN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eaten that I've seen before include "having been fed?" , "dined" , "Devoured" , "corroded" , "Polished off" .)
