Nutritional values

Pumpkin is a great source of beta-carotene, which converts into vitamin A in our bodies, helping strengthen our vision. The beef also provides plenty of protein and iron. 

If you want a leaner version, usr turkey instead of beef.

Add the pumpkin flesh to the ragout for the final 10 minutes of cooking time.
