I LOVE this recipe. It is super easy and tastes great. It says that you should toast the nuts but I just toss the nuts in as I am just about to serve (so they don't burn in the pot). YUM!!!

Walnuts are sometimes substituted in pestos instead of pine nuts. Should work in this recipe. I would chop them before adding.

Hey there, with the recent recalls and listeria scare around pine nuts, is there another recipe or a substitute ingredient we can try?

If you buy them on bulk, they are not unreasonable. Skip the Italian food section at the market and look for bags of them with the other shelled nuts, usually near the product section.

Do you have any idea how expensive pine nuts are? I guess you need to send this recipe to the 1%.
