Garlic Scape Pesto
'Tis the season for garlic scapes, and there is no tastier way to eat them than in garlic scape pesto!

This recipe came from our CSA's weekly newsletter, and boy is it good. I could eat this stuff with a spoon. The recipe is at home, so I'll wing it and double-check the amounts when I get my hands on it. To be safe, add the lemon juice and salt bit by bit, tasting to get it right.

Ingredients:
5-10 garlic scapes (I used at least 10)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup olive oil (I didn't measure this)
1-3 Tbsp lemon juice (I used 1 capful) (Edit: I had written down tsps, which was wrong!)
1/2 tsp salt
ground black pepper to taste

Directions:
Coarsely chop garlic scapes. Put all ingredients into a small food processor and blend until smooth.

Edited to add: I checked the recipe, and I got everything right except the lemon juice. The recipe called for 1-3 Tablespoons, not teaspoons.
