This recipe has a ridiculously long and boring name. I'm not usually a big fan of pesto, but this is pretty tasty because you add stuff to the pesto, so basil is not the only flavor going on.
Cauliflower Pesto Pasta with Broccoli and Tomatoes

1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. salt -- divided
1/4 cup water
1 box shell macaroni -- cooked, reserve 3/4 cup water
