Eric,

We use them in several chestnut cakes, but they are essential in Genovese "pesto" that we use for pasta dishes.

here you are the recipe:

A bunch of fresh basil, leaves only properly washed and dried
3 cloves of garlic (preferably fresh not the Chinese one)
one small handful of raw pine nuts of "pinus pinaster"
about 3/4 cup of real Parmesan cheese freshly grated.
A few tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil

Good lunch
