Quickly take out sauce (5)
I believe the answer is:
pesto
'sauce' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'quickly take out' is the wordplay.
'quickly' becomes 'presto' (I've seen this before).
'take' becomes 'r' (recipe is latin for take - r is abbreviation).
'out' suggests deleting specific letters.
'presto' with 'r' taken out is 'PESTO'.
(Other definitions for pesto that I've seen before include "Pasta sauce mainly of basil and cheese" , "A sauce served with pasta" , "Basil-based sauce" , "Italian sauce containing basil" , "sauce involving Basil" .)
