Garlic Scape Pesto with Kale and Basil

'Tis the season for kale to be abundant, and the window when garlic scapes are too.  I have been making everything I know to make with kale, and this is a nice addition.

½  pound or 6 leaves of kale, strip leaves from stem and chop finely

8-10 garlic scapes, trim off tough end and green end above the bulb part

¼  to ½  cup olive oil

Handful of basil

¼ cup grated fresh parmesan

Salt and pepper to taste

Combine ingredients in food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Makes enough for a pound of pasta--reserve the pasta water to add a little to the pesto if you refrigerate it before hand.
