Some bow ties (5)
I believe the answer is:
pasta
'some bow ties' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for pasta that I've seen before include "Processed flour dough" , "Dried flour paste used in cooking Italian dishes" , "Fare from Italy" , "Fusilli, conchiglie and penne" , "Spaghetti, ziti, fusilli, for example" .)
