Garlic Scape Campanelle


Scapes, also known as garlic tops, are a delightfully delicious and whimsical looking spring treat. They are often made into pesto, or added to a sauteed dish. Cook with olive oil and cracked pepper to add to an omelet or pickle for bloody marys.

Below is a recipe I cooked up tonight for a quick dinner, total time about 25 minutes.

Garlic Scape Campanelle

Ingredients:
Campanelle pasta or other variety
  • 3 strips bacon chopped and cooked
  • Half a red bell pepper
  • 5-6 garlic scapes chopped into 1/4 pieces (leave a few left whole to garnish)
  • small bunch of beet greens chopped
  • olive oil

Directions:
  1. Boil pasta according to package directions
  2. Saute garlic scapes in olive oil about 3 minutes
  3. Add chopped bell pepper and cook for 10-15
  4. Add chopped greens with a few minutes left and cook till tender
  5. Combine mix with bacon and serve over pasta.
