I doubled this recipe, and then put it over 16 ounces of pasta. I too felt I wouldn't like it cold, so it simmered on the stovetop until the rest of dinner was ready. It smelled great, so I had high hopes! It did not disappoint, it was awesome! Such a nice change to have the nuts in the sauce too! I am looking forward to leftovers tonight!

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 was 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.

I didn't like this at all. It would be better if it simmers to let flavors blend better

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! 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!

This sauce is a long time family favourite from my Sicilian heritage. It can be very mild or very strong, depends on how much garlic you use. Spoon the pureed sauce over fried eggplant slices, top with parmesan cheese and bake OR toss through hot spaghetti OR spread on pizza bases OR use it as a dipping sauce OR on french sticks for toasted garlic bread. A very versatile sauce for lovers of garlic!
