Poets cooked pasta addition (5)
I believe the answer is:
pesto
'pasta addition' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'poets cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'poets' with letters rearranged gives 'PESTO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pesto that I've seen before include "Pasta sauce variety" , "Basil and pine nut sauce" , "Basic sauce" , "Pasta sauce mainly of basil and cheese" , "Green sauce" .)
