Making Garlic Scape Pesto on Pittsburgh Today Live

Pittsburgh Today Live producer Jill Neely let me do a little cooking this week on the show. I made one of my favorite seasonal dishes.

They are a wonderful treat and can be used many different ways in the kitchen. This pesto is my favorite way to enjoy the scapes.
