Ingredients
- 18 garlic scapes ends trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces (about 1-1/2 cup)
- 3/4 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves
- 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
- 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese grated
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced
- water desired amount
- kosher salt
- Fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
- Combine chopped garlic scapes, basil leaves, and toasted pine nuts into a Vitamix, regular blender, or food processor.
- Pulse a few times just to help break up the nuts and garlic scapes.
- Add in grated cheese and lemon juice.
- Turn on your Vitamix/blender/food processor and while it's running drizzle in the olive oil and blend until combined.
- At this point take off the lid and scrape down the sides. Put the lid back on and drizzle in some water while the Vitamix/blender/food processor is running until you have reached your desired consistency.
- Season with the desired amount of kosher salt and black pepper.

Notes
- I make my pesto in the Vitamix and blend it until it's very thin so you get a very spreadable pesto. If you want a runnier pesto just add more water or oil.
