Melt butter in 8-inch skillet. Cook pine nuts in butter over medium heat about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Stir pine nuts into broccoli.

Save money by buying only the amount of pine nuts you need in the bulk section of a grocery store.
Leftover Broccoli with Pine Nuts makes a great topper for baked potatoes. You could also toss leftovers with cooked spaghetti noodles and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a meatless main dish.
