tortellini

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

'food packed with carbs' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'unfortunately little iron' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates anagramming the letters (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'little'+'iron'='littleiron'
'littleiron' with letters rearranged gives 'TORTELLINI'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tortellini that I've seen before include "Italian dish" , "Rings for food" , "Small filled pasta cases" , "pasta dish" , "Pasta is called for" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
