This is a wonderful garlic scape pesto made with the curled flowers from the top of a garlic plant that are abundant in spring. This pesto is delicious mixed with pasta, or spread on crackers. It also tastes great mixed with mayo for sandwiches, and makes a great substitute for garlic, onion, or scallions!
