Fresh and green, pesto makes a delicious addition to a variety of recipes. Garlic scapes add a bright, light taste to traditional pesto. Our version has a new twist on this favorite by using sliced almonds instead of pine nuts and part-skim ricotta cheese in place of Parmesan cheese. Olive oil holds all the ingredients of this Italian favorite together. Serve this spread on sandwiches, toss it with pasta, use it as a sauce on top of pizza or use it to prepare a variety of dishes. A food processor makes preparing this pesto a quick and easy process.
