Garlic Scape Pesto
A garlicky twist on the classic basil pesto, this sauce would be great on pasta but is equally good on grilled salmon or chicken, or even tossed with a dish of roasted vegetables.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 10 -12 freshly cut young garlic scapes flowering end removed
- 1/2 C pine nuts
- 1/2 C grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 C olive oil
- pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Toast the pine nuts in a pan over med-high heat on the stovetop for about 5 minutes until just browned
-
Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor, pulsing. You'll likely need to stop a few times to scrape down the sides of the blender. Do not over process, you want a bit of texture, not just a puree

Transfer to a jar or container and refrigerate. It will keep for a few days but can also be divided into smaller portions and frozen if desired.
