By ltruitt

makes one cup

Ingredients

• 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

Preparation

Step 1

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.
