Garlic Scape Pesto

Garlic Scapes are those curly shoots that grow up from the garlic bulb, which are typically snipped off to provide more nutrients for the growing bulb.
They are used in this pesto which is a delicious alternative for any dressing on pasta or salads. Try it spread on crostini with a slice of roasted pepper for a fast and scrumptious appetizer.

1 cup garlic scapes, thinly sliced crosswise 
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup good olive oil 
1/4 cup Parmesan 
Salt and pepper, to taste 

1. Add the scapes and pine nuts to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until everything is broken up a bit. 
2. With the processor running, add the oil a little at a time until it's fully incorporated.
3. Add cheese, pulse, then season with salt and pepper to taste.This won't brown like basil pesto will, so if you're not using immediately, just store in a container in the fridge.
   
   Note:  This will last a week in the fridge.
