Pasta with garlic scape pesto and fresh peas
From Stones River Market
<p>Garlic scapes are an unusual product. This recipe features those as well as sugar snap peas. I would suspect snow peas might make a good substitute.</p>Source: Yummly and Scaling Back (http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/Pasta-With-Garlic-Scape-Pesto-And-Fresh-Peas-559568) (Entered by John Erdmann)
