I found that using Walnuts instead of pine nuts is a much cheaper way to go!  Barely can tell the difference, and with the escalated price of pignolas, the cheap fresh walnuts from Costco, and the fresh live greens from TRader Joes, this is the perfect way to do a pesto sacue for noodles or for a spread for toast points
