garlic scape pesto (adapted from Dorie Greenspan)

 

makes one cup

 

10 garlic scapes

 

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

 

1/3 cup shelled, unsalted pistachios

 

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed

 

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

 

Add the scapes, cheese and pistachios to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the scapes and nuts are very finely chopped. Slowly add the olive oil, while pulsing, until it forms a wet paste. Season with pepper. Add more oil if you desire a "wetter" pesto, especially if tossing with pasta.
