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.

- 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
