I allow my scapes to remain on the plant. As a plant breeder, the scape, and associated seeds, are the most important part of the garlic that I grow....

At market, people ask me "what do you do with garlic scapes?" There is only one answer that's always just begging to be said, "I sell them at the farmer's market!!!". However in response to "How are they used?" I usually reply, "Use them just like you would use garlic: add them to a soup, stir-fry, roast, omelet, or casserole. Or blend them up with some olive oil and vinegar to make a pesto.".

I used some last night in a pesto, and added some to a spinach stir-fry.
