Wash garlic scapes under cold water, trim off tough ends and flower buds. Aim for 1-2 cups prepared.

In a blender or food processor, combine trimmed garlic scapes, fresh basil, and choice of nuts. Add Parmesan or nutritional yeast and pulse until coarsely chopped.

With the blender running, gradually drizzle in olive oil and blend until smooth. Scrape sides with a spatula as needed.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, blend briefly to combine, and adjust consistency with olive oil if needed.

Transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze in ice cube trays for later use.
