Spinach & Garlic Scape Pesto image

This recipe is to use up the garlic scapes I received in my CSA basket. "Garlic scapes (also known as garlic tops, garlic shoots, green garlic, spring baby garlic, garlic spears, early garlic greens, or garlic "flowers") are the curly tipped, extremely tasty green shoots that grow from "heads" of hardneck garlic. " From Plan B Orgarnic Farms.
