Sauce from naughty poets (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pesto

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

'naughty poets' is the wordplay.
'naughty' is an anagram indicator.
'poets' with letters rearranged gives 'PESTO'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for pesto that I've seen before include "Italian sauce containing basil" , "Pasta sauce mainly of basil and cheese" , "Sauce of basil, pine nuts and garlic" , "Pasta sauce based on basil" , "Basil and pine nut sauce" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
