Directions
Boil a large pot of warer; cook pasta until al dente.
While pasta is cooking, in a small skillet, melt margarine.
Add pine nuts and onion, stirring occasionally over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until pine nuts are lightly browned and onion is softened.
Set aside.
In a small bowl, beat cheese with remaining ingredients.
Stir in pine nuts and onion.
When pasta is done, drain well; toss with sauce.
Top with freshly ground pepper and garnishes.
