You can get pine nuts at Whole Foods in their bulk section, and just purchase what you need. It's much cheaper that way.
I buy all my spices and nuts at Whole Foods, because the prices are so much better. For example, they sell a one-pound bag of pistachios for $5.99, which is almost half of what it costs elsewhere. Over the holidays, I got a 2-cup bag of chopped pecans for $4.99; Lowes Foods had the tiny 1/2 cup bags for $2.50, meaning I would have paid $10.00 for 2 cups.
I had a delicious hearth baked pizza up North ones and they added pine nute...I was hooked ever since...Can't remember where I got them here, probably in whole foods. They are quite expensive so I limit using them for special plates on special occasions..
The best dinner I ever had was butternut squash ravioli with a light cream and sage sauce covered with roasted pine nuts in Newport RI...YUM!!! It was so expensive but well worth it!
I make something similar to that. Sweet potato and sage ravioli with asparagus and country ham in a maple cream sauce topped with toasted pecans. Though these days pecans can be as expensive as pine nuts!
