If you are looking for a delicious, admittedly seasonal, alternative to the classic tomato sauce for your pasta dishes, I can only recommend this pumpkin walnut pesto. Super quick to make, and tastes really unique!
Pumpkin-Walnut-Pesto
Basil Pesto
According to Wikipedia the word pesto comes from pestare, which means "to crush". So I unpacked my new mortar to make a nice basil pesto. This version becomes very fruity with a splash of lime juice and can be kept in the fridge for several weeks.
