In Italian cuisine, they are popular in pasta sauces, pesto, and salad dressings. They can be used in a variety of baked goods, such as cakes, cookies, breads, and muffins. Pignolias also make a wonderful topping for roasted vegetables, pizza, or salads. Pignolias are a good source of essential fatty acids, B vitamins, protein, and minerals like copper, magnesium, and zinc.
