Basil-based sauce (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pesto

'basil-based sauce' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pesto that I've seen before include "Italian sauce containing basil" , "Green sauce" , "Ligurian food" , "Pasta sauce based on basil" , "Sauce of basil, pine nuts, etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Universal, the USA Today, the LA Times, The Wall Street Journal and the King Feature Syndicate.
