Transport forced on a bar? Sauce! (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carbonara

'sauce' is the definition.
(carbonara matches up with the definition sauce)

'transport forced on a bar?' is the wordplay.
'transport' becomes 'car' (car is a method of transport).
'forced' indicates an anagram.
'on'+'a'+'bar'='onabar'
'onabar' with letters rearranged gives 'bonara'.
'car'+'bonara'='CARBONARA'

(Another definition for carbonara that I've seen is " Type of pasta sauce".)
