Garlic Scape Pesto

Looking for something to do with all of those garlic scapes?  Here's and idea!

Ingredients:
2 cups of garlic scapes cut into 1 inch lengths, tough tips removed
1/3 cup of pine nuts (they may be toasted)
1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
1/3 - 2/3 cup of olive oil
8-12 fresh basil leaves, optional

~ In a food processor, pulse the garlic scapes and optional basil leaves until fine. Add pine nuts and cheese, turn on food processor and drizzle in olive oil until the desired consistency has been reached.
Seal tightly, and refrigerate.
You may also add 1 Tbs. of lemon or lime juice to help the pesto retain it's color. Add this when adding the oil.
