Crossword Genius

Italian food carried by gang, as a lawyer recalled (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lasagna

'italian food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'carried by gang as a lawyer recalled' is the wordplay.
'carried by' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'recalled' is a reversal indicator.
'angasal' can be found hidden inside 'gang as a lawyer'.
'angasal' back-to-front is 'LASAGNA'.

(Other definitions for lasagna that I've seen before include "Baked pasta dish" , "Broad flat pasta" , "Italian food" , "Italian dish" , "Calorie-rich food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
