We have all been told many times over that you must be able to play your pawns correctly. Their placement is crucial from your beginning game, all the way through to your end game. When the end game has arrived, half the battle is simply recognizing WHEN to implement the pawn game to help you finish the game. Sometimes this will involve sacrificing remaining pieces that you would otherwise be tempted to keep. This is when the pawn, and your king are your most powerful weapon. This is an example from a game I just recently had. In the end you can simply have the King escort your pawns to promotion.
