Hi Jane, It’s so hard to say because everyone’s scapes are different. Adding more olive oil or sunflower seeds can help cut the garlicky-ness. I love adding lots of basil, personally.

was wondering if you could give an approximation as to the measurement of the scapes. I tried this recipe but my scapes were pretty big and it was SO garlicky, it was too much. Thank you!

I don’t see why not… It’s worth a try. I would try using raw pumpkin seeds.

Would pumpkin seeds work as well?

Hi Dorothy, if they haven’t bloomed, I usually use the whole scape. If I’ve left them a bit too long, I’ll cut that part out.

Do you leave the flower bulb on the scapes and process them w the stems?

There is definitely a bite to it! I prefer to cook it, so will heat if I’m making pesto or bruschetta, etc. And yes, you can definitely leave out the parmesan!

I’m trying this today! Got 15 scapes from my garden. Does this turn out spicy? My kids complain about eating raw garlic. Can I leave out the parmesan? Dairy-free here…
