Zucchini Saute with Pine Nuts

Here's a very simple dish I put together for a dinner with family using a few items I had on hand. It turned out great so I grabbed the camera to take pictures for passing it on to you. Unfortunately it was dark—the problem with winter dinners—so the pictures are less than ideal. Anyway, you get the idea—quick and easy.
