Aglio:

Garlicky Antipasti & Sauces

By Kyle Phillips, About.com

Agliata
A classic Ligurian sauce made from garlic, vinegar and bread, which works nicely on rustic pasta or gnocchi, and is also a good antipasto spread.

Bruschetta
Being rubbed with garlic and drizzled with oil is one of the nicest things that can happen to sliced bread. Ideal for barbecues too!

Bruschetta with Garlic Cream
Something for the garlic lovers among us to enjoy!

Grilled Bell Peppers
One of the tastiest summer antipasti or side dishes known, and easy to make too!

Melanzane a Scapece
A refreshing summer eggplant dish that will also be a nice appetizer.

Melanzane alla Griglia
Marinated eggplant grilled and returned to the marinade to be eaten cool -- very nice!

Salsa Aïoli
A tasty accompanyment for boiled fish or boiled vegetables, especially potatoes.

Bagna Caoda
An extraordinarily garlicky symbol of Piemontese conviviality, and a perfect sauce for raw or cooked vegetables, especially roast peppers.

Bagnèt Ross & Bagnet Vert
A pair of Piemontese sauces for boiled meats that will also be wonderful with boiled vegetables, especially potatoes.
