Thoughts behind pasta dishes

As I cook by myself more and more often, I have come to see that the
easiest and most versatile food to create is pasta. The act of making
the pasta is very easy (assuming you buy pre cut pasta) which is very
nice, but then the fact that you can put any sort of sauce on top, and
change the entire dish is really amazing. You can go from a very healthy
pasta dish, with a pesto sauce, and then you can go in the complete
opposite direction and make a creamy alfredo sauce and pile on the
cream.
The bad thing about making pasta though, is that I am limited to ingredients that are in my house. Normally that would be fine, but I have found that I end up doing the same sauce every time. Currently I have been making an oil sauce with just onions, garlic and mushrooms. It’s really simple, and I really need to branch out and try new things.
I think the next kind of pasta dish I would like to make would be some sort of creamy spinach sauce. I remember when I visited my Uncle, he made me something similar to that with pignoli nuts. It was in all honesty one of the best things I had ever tasted, and I would really like to try and recreate it. Maybe I can mimic what he did, and possibly make it better.
