Here's another version for you. Quality ingredients [especiallly] good quality freshly grated cheese is crucial for best flavor in this recipe. Walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts can replace those expensive pine nuts. Ingredients:
6 garlic scapes, chopped |
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese |
1/2 cup freshly grated asiago cheese |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, to taste |
1/4 cup pine nuts |
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil |
cracked black pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Place the garlic scapes, Parmesan cheese, Asiago cheese, lemon juice, and pine nuts in the bowl of a food processor.
2. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture.
3. Blend until the pesto is a brilliant green color and smooth in texture.
4. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Serving suggestion: I tossed the pesto with fresh pasta and garnished the pasta with minced fresh parsley and a few Grilled Garlic Whistles (Garlic Scapes).
