I recently visited a local farm called Thistlehair Farm and they just so happen to grow an abundance of garlic. While there, they allowed me to taste a garlic scape fresh out of the field! If you're anything like me, garlic is your love language. I instantly fell in love and my kitchen is now packed with these for gnawing on, cooking with, and looking at! Thistlehair Farm very kindly blessed me with this delicious, addicting, and very easy Garlic Scape Pesto recipe. This is perfect for toast, pasta, pizza, or simply on it's own. I can't wait for you to try this. Let us know how you use your pesto!
