Sicilian Garlic Sauce

By: Linda 
"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."
