  This rich-tasting baklava contains half the amount of sugar and a
  fraction of the fat you would normally use, thanks to reduced fats,
  sugar, and nuts. The results will fool anyone. 1. Combine pistacho
  nuts, sugar, cinnamon and rose water in small bowl. Using half of
  filo sheets (cover remaining with plastic wrap to prevent from drying
  out), place 3 sheets in bottom of lightly greased 13x9" baking sheet.
  Brush with some of margarine. Sprinkle evenly with nut mixture. Place
  remaining sheets over nut filling, brushing after every third sheet
  and top sheet. 2. Cut baklava at 1-1/2" intervals diagonally to form
  pattern of about 35 diamond shapes. Bake at 400'F. 25 minutes or
  until golden. Place on wire rack to cool. Drizzle Rose Water Syrup
  evenly over top and allow to soak several hours. Stud each
  diamond-shape with whole clove.
