I was making dinner for the bro n' sis in-law and the niece tonight when disaster struck- I forgot the pine nuts for the pesto, and they didn't have any. No walnuts either (barbarians!)
So I made do with what was on hand- pumpkin seeds.
Toasted some up, threw them in the mix....and the pesto turned out fine.
I like the deep, woody taste you get with pine nuts and will stick with them as my first option...but if you can get away with pumpkin seeds, the sky's the limit.
