I experimented with pesto...It turned out pretty good. (Let me know if you have any ideas for improvement.)

blended in my VitaMix:

handfull of cashews
handfull of raw spinach
garlic
onion powder
one roaster red pepper from a can
pinch of salt and pepper
(Can add a little oil if needed)

Mix with cooked pasta
My husband liked it even better with hot sauce added.

That sounds lovely! I enjoy pesto a lot, and my main cook (husband) doesn't make it nearly as often as I like, grin!

I've never heard of making pesto with cashews. I've always used pine nuts which are WAY more expensive. I think I'll try the cashews! Thanks for the tip.
