Once I discovered garlic scape pesto, I was hooked. It is one of the few things my entire family loves, so we eat it at least once a week. We all prefer it over just plain basil pesto. It tastes better and doesn't brown like basil does. We freeze a ton of it. I like putting it in small glass canning jars. That way if I forget to take it out in the morning, I can thaw it quickly by putting it either next to the large pot of water heating for pasta, or right on the flat lid.

Garlic scapes are a long curly stem that grows from hardnecked garlic. You usually cut these off in the spring, after they've curled so the energy of the plant can go to producing larger heads of garlic.

The ingredients listed are approximate and should be modified to taste.
