Frequently used in Italian dishes and sauces such as pesto, pine nuts are often toasted to enhance their flavor.

My family loves this recipe. I hadn't made it for a long time, and I was making a different dish, and he was disappointed that it wasn't this one. On occasion, I've added shrimp to it.

My family really liked this. I used walnuts since pine nuts are so expensive

Didn't think this was that spectacular. Didn't have much flavor.
