Description
Pine nuts are without a doubt part of Italian cuisine. They are part of a pesto, but are also used in sauces, soups, pasta and salads. Today we are sprinkling them on a sweet pastry - on the Torta della Nonna, which means grandma's cake. And this name lives up to its promise: a traditional, fine baked good that has been popular throughout Italy for generations.
