Step 1

In a food processor, process the garlic scapes and basil for 30 seconds.

Step 2

Add the nuts and process for another 30 seconds.

Step 3

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil as you continue to run the food processor.

Step 4

Add in the parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Mix and taste, adjusting the salt/pepper as desired.

Step 5

Use the pesto over fresh homemade pasta (my favorite), use it as a sauce for homemade pizza, or smear it on a bit of crusty bread.
