Tip

Pine Nuts

Also know as pignolia or pinon, the pine nut is the small seed from one of several pine tree varieties. They are small elongated ivory-colored nuts measuring about 3/8 inch long and having a soft texture and a buttery flavor. Frequently used in Italian dishes and sauces such as pesto, pine nuts are often toasted to enhance their flavor.

Full-Bodied White Wine

The taste was phenominal; even 4 year old and husband agreed. My only complaint is it was a bit runny. I would use 1/2 the liquids called for.

My Husband and I decided this was a keeper recipe. I added browned crumbled spicy Italian sausage to the sauce and substituted chicken and cheese stuffed ravioli and topped with fresh snipped chives. Next time I make this recipe I will substitute a stronger cheese in place of the Parmesan such as a Romano or Asiago for a bit more flavor.

Needs more flavor.

My son took one bite then asked for more sauce. And he cleaned his plate! I think it needed just a dash of red pepper.

I would make again with additional more flavor. It was very bland.

The kids liked it, but I thought it was a little on the bland side. But I would make it again since they ate it.

This recipe was excellent! The pumpkin alfredo was simply decadent!

Only complaint I have is that my sauce never thickened...
