Garlic scapes

If you grow your own garlic, you've probably been told to cut off the 'scapes'. But what exactly are they and what do you do with them.

The first time our gardener brought me some scapes, they were just these buds and I hadn't a clue what to do with them. I hate to say it, but they got wasted.

This year, I got a bit more education before they were even harvested.

The scapes are the flowering part of the plant. They get cut of in order to grow bigger, more flavorful
Garlic bulbs, since the plant won't be expending the energy necessary to bloom

They are these super cute spirals when they are ready to harvest, but will straighten out as they grow.

They have a milder garlic flavor, but you wouldn't want to eat them raw either.

I did them two different ways, and we all liked them both, so give them a try.

Lemon and garlic scape pasta.

8 oz spaghetti noodles
2 cups garlic scapes, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 tbs butter
Zest of one lemon
Juice of one lemon
8 oz grated Parmesan cheese

But 8 oz of spaghetti on to boil, per package instructions.

Meanwhile heat oil in a skillet, add garlic scapes and saute for about five minutes, or until slightly browned. Add butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the pan, then turn off the heat.

Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.

Return pasta to pot, and stir in garlic scapes, along with Parmesan cheese, add pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, to get sauce to your preferred consistency.

Fresh beets, onions & snap peas at the Depot Street Farmers Market this morning! All proceeds support the Teen Training Program🌱
