Going to make some sauces ready-made for quick access..

Fresh Tomato Pesto Sauce 
 4 medium or 2 large tomatoes 
1/2 cup packed basil, parsley, or arugula leaves 
1/3 cup salted cashews, almonds, or macadamia nuts 
1 clove garlic (or use some roasted garlic, if you like) 
1/2 cup olive oil 
1 teaspoon kosher salt 

Throw everything in the food processor.  Pulse a few times to chunk it up, then puree on high several seconds until smooth.  Scrape down sides and puree a couple moments more to get that last pesky piece of cashew incorporated.  

Store in the fridge a few days, or in the freezer at least up to 6 months. (makes enough for 2 pizzas)
