Ziti or rotini (5)
I believe the answer is:
pasta
'ziti or rotini' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for pasta that I've seen before include "Dish of dough made with durum wheat" , "dish that's Italian" , "Dried flour paste used in cooking Italian dishes" , "Italian foodstuff" , "Tapas (anag)" .)
