Basil-and-pine-nuts sauce (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pesto

'basil-and-pine-nuts sauce' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pesto that I've seen before include "sauce involving Basil" , "Basic sauce" , "Sauce made of basil and cheese" , "Pasta sauce based on basil" , "Sauce of basil, pine nuts, etc" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and the LA Times.
