How to Make Pesto Dell Uomo Povero Poor Man's Pesto
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Toast 4 cloves garlic (with skins on) in a skillet over medium heat for 7 minutes, until softened.
- Remove garlic skins and roughly chop.
- Grate 1/2 cup of your favorite hard cheese (Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, etc.).
- Combine toasted bread, herbs, garlic, and cheese in a food processor or blender.
- With the motor running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil until desired consistency is reached (about 1/4 - 1/2 cup).
- Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest and salt to taste. Pulse to combine.
