What do you do with

1200 garlic scapes?

Make garlic scape pesto!

Here's what you need:

One pound garlic scapes, chopped

1/3 - 1/2 cup chopped and toasted almonds

1/3 cup fresh basil

3/4 - 1 cup grated parmesan

(use the good stuff here, none of this pre-grated grocery store stuff)

3/4 - 1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Put everything except the olive oil in a bowl of a food processor and pulse to a fine uniform consistency. With the motor running slowly drizzle in the olive oil until you reach the desired consistency. Makes about 3 cups. Serve over pasta, boiled potatoes, mixed into scrambled eggs or just dip some good crusty bread into it and slurp it up. Yum!
