Taken from recipes, tomato sauce (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pesto

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

'taken from recipes tomato' is the wordplay.
'taken from' indicates a hidden word.
'PESTO' can be found hidden inside 'recipes tomato'.

(Other definitions for pesto that I've seen before include "Sauce of basil, pine nuts and garlic" , "Ligurian food" , "Saucy work" , "Pasta sauce mainly of basil and cheese" , "Sauce made of basil and cheese" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
