For a richer flavor, try toasting the garlic scapes lightly before processing. Store the pesto in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage. When freezing, consider portioning the pesto into ice cube trays for easy use. Experiment with different cheeses! Pecorino Romano or Asiago cheese can offer interesting flavor variations. If you want a vegan option, substitute nutritional yeast for the Parmesan cheese.
