Piegirl - don't have recipes as such, but... I make pesto out of many herbs. Just whiz up herb, olive oil, salt & pepper, some type of nut (pine nuts, almonds, walnuts, pecans) and as much cheese (Parmesan or Pecorino) to your own taste and desired texture.

A couple of favourites are basil with pinenuts and parmesan, but even better is flat leaf parsley with toasted walnuts and feta cheese. If you are wanting to try with rosemary or oregano (strong tasting herbs), I would use less herb and more of the other ingredients. It's all to your own taste!

Sorry, forgot something tres important! Garlic! as much as you desire.
Oh, and three more words: garlic scape pesto...
