Garlic scape & basil pesto

Pesto Italian cuisine

I am part of a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and this week, I recieved one of my favorite ingredients, Garlic Scapes! They are actually the plant greens of garlic and only come around a few weeks out of the year! They are insanely delicious with their light garlic and earthy flavor and make for an amazing pesto. I served mine on spaghetti with pan roasted tomatoes. My recent batch included a mix of pine nuts, walnuts and marcona almonds which were all in my pantry and was devine! I also froze some for a great quick crostini when guests come over topped with Burrata cheese.
