Ok too many S, not enough L in the pasta. My word, I'm daft.

If anyone's still around after so long, can they help me with 14a? Even after reading the comments people have posted about it, I have no idea. Also, I'm confident I have the right answer to 24a, but I don't know what the effing "blind partner" is. Any help on that?

FOI 10a, LOI will be 14a if I eventually get there. COD 19a, with 13a as runner up.

Micky, in 14a the function is a mathematical term, the rest is a homophone. 24a you’ve basically written the connection, “effing and blinding” are the partners

Oh Christ, Jono! How could I possibly, as you say, come so close to writing down the answer, and still not see it??? Duh... As for 14a, I now see that I had the wrong answer written in for 2d, which made 14a impossible. That was stupid, because I had realised what 2d was an anagram of, but wrote it as a plural instead of singular, which didn't fit the anagram. Duh... Anyway, with your help I'm there now. Thanks.

I couldn't get 14 either, which is particularly embarrassing because I'm a math nerd. 😭
Of course it was obvious once pointed out...

Like you, roof, I have an answer to 9d (the only words I can find that fit) but don't see how it arises from the clue. Can anyone give a hint? (I've made a slow start to this puzzle, with hardly anything in the SW corner.)

The answer to 9d could also be a slang term for "excellent" or "ace".
