Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place squash in a large microwave-safe bowl with a 1/4 cup water. Cover and microwave for 6 minutes. Once bowl is cool enough to handle, uncover and drain any excess water. Set aside.

Place squash in a blender. Add all of the other ingredients except for the onion. Pulse until thoroughly mixed but not liquified.

Remove blender from base and stir in onion. Transfer mixture to a small casserole dish sprayed with nonstick spray.
