Seasonal Kitchen enjoy!! I have to get cracking on August's recipes, this is where the recipe creating really takes off...woohoo!

also including an bonus, I whipped some of this up last night to toss in with pasta for the wee one and fresh greens for me. yum. Garlic scapes are the curly, flowering tops to garlic, nice punch of garlic flavor and can be used in place of onions for something different.

Garlic Scape Pesto

1 c. garlic scapes, roughly chopped
1/2 c. olive oil (more as needed)
1/2 c. nuts-walnuts, almonds or pine nuts
1/2 c. parmesan (asiago is strong but would work well as a half and half blend with parmesan)

Whizz all the above ingredients in a food processor until paste-like in consistency. Add additional olive oil to make it a smooth paste. For best flavor, store in a sealed container and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
