Pine nuts actually do come from pine tree cones,and are usually toasted when making pesto.
Almost any nut can be used, but like "hazelnuts" ground, when I cannot get pine nuts.
Be carefull with the amount of other nuts used, because you really don't want to overpower the pesto with any nut flavor.
I know there are sustitute recipe' on the net, just look on google for other nuts used. |

Yep, "pinoli" come from Pine cones. Dirt cheap in Italy. The nearest you can get are Walnuts, or Cashew nuts, if not even ground Hazelnuts or unsalted Peanuts (not recommended), but as the others said don't exagerate, you'll over flavour. |

The flavor of pine nut in pesto sauce is actually quite subtle. I think its main role is to bind the crushed basil and to give the sauce a stronger texture. I suggest replacing it with small quantity of hazelnut softened in a bit of boiling water and dried. Walnut will do too but it has a slightly bitter taste. |

When I make a lamb roast I place parsley-walnut pesto inside. It gives it a great flavor. Here are three recipes: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art41463.asp
You can also make a sage-Gorgonzola pesto: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art45888.asp
As stated above pine nuts do come from pine cones. |
