Lamb and Butternut Squash Meatballs With Pistachio Pesto
In Italy, ground lamb meat is not as common as ground beef or pork, so you have to specially order it from your butcher. I really enjoyed making meatballs with it, in place of more traditional ground beef.These butternut squash and lamb meatballs have a distinctive flavor; they are moist and sweet, with a warm orange hue. The roasted squash adds moisture and flavor, but if you don’t have butternut squash, two medium potatoes, boiled and riced, would work, too.
