Creamy Pesto Pasta

Salt your water, bring it to a boil and cook your pasta al dente according to the directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water!

Add garlic, salt, macadamia nuts, basil, spinach, butter, pecorino and olive oil to a food processor. Blend to your liking.

Finish it off with some lemon juice, and there's your pesto.

In a saucepan, combine butter and flour to form a roux. Then add in half and half cream and whisk for a minute or two until it's thickened.

Add in a few generous spoonfuls of your pesto, mix it all together until thoroughly combined. Mix in pasta water and lemon juice and there you have your creamy pesto sauce.

Pour the pesto over the pasta and then garnish with grated pecorino and basil. Enjoy!
