    This is great. I’ve made garlic scape pesto before, so I was ready for the potency. (If it’s a concern, you can cut the flavor with tomatoes.) I served this as a pasta sauce.

    I just made this as well, with pistachios instead of cashews. The previous reviewer is correct that the garlic flavor is potent, but I foresee using this almost as a condiment as well as a pasta sauce. Tonight it was used to finish some braised lentils with a fried egg. A little goes a long way.

    This is definitely for garlic lovers. I first used it as a dip for pita chips - delicious, but with potent garlic flavor. The rest I tossed with whole wheat spaghetti and tomatoes for a light supper. Because I didn't have cashews on hand, I used pine nuts instead, which made a good substitute.
