For a deeper, richer flavor, toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown before adding them to the butter. Watch carefully, as they burn easily. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or zucchini. Add them along with the onion. Use low-sodium vegetable broth to control the saltiness of the dish. The bake can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated. Add about 15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. For a vegan variation, substitute the butter with olive oil.
