Steps:
- Set up your grill for cooking with direct and indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
- Make the tomato sauce: Combine the tomatoes along with their juices, butter, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, onion halves and a pinch of salt in a very large saucepan or skillet. Place over the indirect-heat side of the grill and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally and using a potato masher to smash the whole tomatoes at the halfway mark. Discard the onion and bay leaves.
- Make the pesto: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the garlic and nuts until chopped. Add the basil with a pinch of salt and pulse until it makes coarse crumbs. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the Parmesan and olive oil. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place a large pot of salted water over the direct-heat side of the grill and bring to a boil. Cook the pasta 2 minutes less than the package directions, then scoop out into the tomato sauce, adding 1/2 cup pasta water. Toss to coat, then remove from the heat. (If the pasta is too dry, add some more pasta water.) Stir half the pesto mixture into the pasta. Plate and serve immediately with more pesto over the top.

Steps:
- Heat a dry, medium skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast, stirring often, until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- Combine the cooled almonds, tomatoes, basil, parsley, mint, red pepper flakes, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse, adding a little bit of the oil at a time, until everything is finely chopped and emulsified. Add the Parmesan and pulse to incorporate. Season with salt to taste.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with the toasted baguette slices. Any leftover pesto can be kept refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

TOMATO PESTO
Chef Note: This is a great sauce for pasta salad because it's delicious at room temperature. You could also slather it on bruschetta, grilled fish or chicken. Or make a brunch dish by topping a thick slice of toast with proscuitto, a poached egg and a little of this summer pesto. In summer, when you can get your hands on vine-ripe tomatoes, you don't even need to peel them. To intensify the flavor, you can add a few oven-dried tomatoes. The pesto keeps several days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.

TOMATO-PESTO COCKTAIL SAUCE
An alternative to standard seafood sauce, this recipe uses fresh tomatoes and fresh pesto (two favorite ingredients!) This yields a good amount of sauce, which will keep up to one week in the refrigerator. Best when made with the freshest ingredients available. If you want, use homemade mayonnaise in place of jarred. Excellent on crab, shrimp and other seafood-or as a spread on French bread! Clipped from our local newspaper with just a few minor changes.

Steps:
- Tip: If you don't want to invest in an entire bottle of cognac, you can purchase small "sample" sized bottles of it at the liquor store. I was able to find 50 milliliter (approximately 1/4 cup) bottles of V.S. Hennessey cognac-among other offerings: white rum, whiskey, etc. -fyi.
- In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the onion and gently sautè until light golden brown and slightly caramelized; approximately 10 minutes. DO NOT cook over too high of heat! Reduce heat if necessary.
- The objective is to caramelize the onions, not burn them.
- Increase heat to medium; add the diced tomatoes, salt and pepper.
- Continue cooking until the mixture has softened and all liquid released by the tomatoes has evaporated. The mixture should be thickened after about 15-20 minutes of cooking.
- Scrape the tomato mixture into a mixing bowl and set aside to cool.
- Stir in the mayonnaise, pesto and cognac. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Chill until ready to serve. Yield is estimated.
