Garlic Scape Pesto is a great way to use up those scapes in hurry. You can make several batches and freeze the pesto. I use an ice cube tray. Once they are frozen I remove them to a ziploc bag for storage. Take out one, two or three as I need them for other recipes.

It is Garlic Scape season so why not whip up a few batches of Pesto and store them in the freezer for use later on.

How To Make garlic scape pesto

Step 1

Chop or slice garlic scapes into small pieces. Place in blender or bullet. I have a both but prefer to make pesto in my bullet.

Step 2

Add all other ingredients except the parmesan cheese. Blend until a smooth paste is formed.
Step 3

Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the Parmesan cheese. I prefer to add the cheese in this manner so that the pesto doesn't get that gummy feel.
Step 4

Serve as dip for veggies or on bruschetta. Or use in other recipes such as Pizza, Pasta, Sandwiches, etc.
Step 5
