“This versatile, no-cook sauce is for garlic lovers! Serve it over hot spaghetti, fried eggplant slices, barbequed meats, or even as a dip for toast! The amount of garlic can be varied according to taste, we like it strong! Pine nuts may be substituted for almonds.” - by Linda

"This recipe is great, as written. I served it over hot thin spaghetti. I used 10 ounces of spaghetti to feed the family and used only about 1/3 of the sauce. It coated the spaghetti nicely. This i..." See mores like using basil pesto on spaghetti; pesto is also not a cooked sauce. If you don't like garlic, then I would not make a "garlic sauce." If it seems too dry for you when you add it to the pasta, you can always save a little bit of the pasta water and add it to the spaghetti after you have coated it with the sauce. This is like many of the true Sicilian sauces that we serve in our Italian household. Yum!"

"YUM! FAST! EASY! I served the tossed pasta over a bed of sautéed veggies. Nice to have something new and garlicky for pasta. Thanks, Linda. Update: I used this for a pasta salad and it was great too!..." See more It coats everything with no drip (dry but NOT dry) and even after a few days in the fridge zero excess liquid means NO soggy veggies. The salad was eaten and enjoyed to the last bite instead of getting tossed due to being soggy. Thanks for sharing this gem!"

"OK I have mixed feelings on this. I agree with previous poster that this sauce benefits from being cooked. I tried it both as written with grilled chicken and hot tossed through spaghetti. The garlic ..." See morewas far too raw tasting & overpowering when not cooked. I ended up adding a lot more basil and topped my 'cooked sauce' with plenty of parma cheese. "
