Basil paste (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pesto

(Other definitions for pesto that I've seen before include "Italian sauce containing basil" , "Ligurian food" , "Basil and pine nut sauce" , "Sauce of basil, pine nuts and garlic" , "A sauce served with pasta" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
