RECIPE BACKSTORY

For a sauce with a Tuscan flair replace the hazelnuts with toasted pine nuts and 1/2 tsp lemon zest.

** Toasting Hazelnuts – Place hazelnuts on a baking sheet in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes; shake the pan every 5 minutes. When fragrant, empty hazelnuts into a terry cloth towel and rub the bitter skins off, or at least MOST of the bitter skin.

*** Toasting Pine Nuts – place a small skillet over low heat, spread pine nuts in a single layer. Move skillet frequently, or stir nuts, or toss (Whichever you prefer) until fragrant. Pine nuts will turn a slightly darker brown… Be careful though, Pine nuts burn VERY easily.
