'accommodation?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'basil creation shapes towers'' is the wordplay.
'PESTO' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pesto that I've seen before include "Sauce of basil, pine nuts and garlic" , "Green sauce" , "Sauce made of basil and cheese" , "Pasta sauce based on basil" , "A sauce served with pasta" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
