Pesto herb (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

basil

'pesto herb' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for basil that I've seen before include "Aromatic herb in pesto" , "Herb of mint family" , "Fragrant herb" , "Aromatic plant used as a herb" , "Herb - boy's name" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times and the Penny Press.
