Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat the garlic scapes in 1 tbsp of olive oil and roast them in the oven for 7-10 minutes depending on the size of your scapes. Allow them a few minutes to cool and roughly chop the stalk.
Combine all the ingredients except for the basil in a food processor. Process until smooth for at least 2 full minutes.
