These creative, non-marinara, homemade pasta sauce recipes will come in handy when you want to give red sauce a rest.

Steps to make Fresh Asparagus And Pesto Sauce For Pasta:
- Roughly chop the asparagus, courgette, onions and garlic. Add these to a pan, add boiling water enough to just cover the veg and a pinch of salt. Blanch for 3-4 minutes.
- Turn pan off the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. do not drain the water! With a hand held blender (or transfer to a food processer), roughly blend untill you have a sauce consistency. Add the remaining ingredients apart from the Parmesan and blend further untill desired consistancy. I prefer mine still with a bit of texture so I dont completely purée it.
- Reheat the sauce for about 5 minutes. Serve over pasta and add Parmesan over the top. If you want a protein with this, chicken or fish would go well, or even stir through some cooked pancetta. I served this with salmon.
Cut the remaining spears into quarters and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil, salt, and pepper over the asparagus and toss. In a food processor, briefly whizz the mint leaves, ricotta and grated Parmesan until you have a smooth green pesto. Cooked pasta is combined with fresh pesto sauce, then tossed with diced fresh avocado, for a beautiful, smooth, creamy texture and scrumptious taste. Serve this dish alongside a tossed green salad and some toasty garlic bread, for a complete, satisfying meal.
