For the Sauce:
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 pumpkin, peeled and sliced
• 24 oz your favorite Marinara sauce
• 2 TB spoons oil
Directions:
• For the sauce:
• Saute onion and garlic in oil for three minutes.

• Add pumpkin slices.
• Bring to boil, lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile make the meatballs:
• Mix ground beef, lemon zest, egg yolks, onion, and garlic.
• Scoop out pieces of meat (I use an ice cream spoon) and gently roll them between your hands into balls about the size of a golf ball.
