The Cu/Al wire nut is the only way to connect the two conductors. If your really worried and for peace of mind...Fill the nut with Alox which can be purchased in a small tube..mabe 2-3 oz. This is a oxidation inhibitor. BTW, the aluminum conductor will probably be what is called new technology aluminum which is treated...Otherwise...live with it.
