Garlic Scape Pesto

Wash scapes thoroughly and remove the bulb thing at the top. Chop the scapes into pieces and add them into your food processor. Add the cheese, salt and pepper and nuts. Process and with motor running add olive oil through the top chute, in a stream until mixed well but still a bit chunky. Adjust seasonings as desired.

This keeps well in the fridge for a week or in the freezer for a month.

To put it into pasta: Cook approximately 2 cups of pasta according to package instructions. When done drain it but reserve about a cup of the liquid.

Add a little of the pasta water into about a 2/3 cup of pesto (till you have the consistency you like). Add the pasta and toss. Serve immediately.

* Easily doubled or tripled.
