Cut up and steam the squash with salted water until tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 20 - 25 minutes.
Mash the cooked squash and place it in a colander to cool and drain for 20 - 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
Place the chopped onions in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave for two minutes on high to steam and soften.
Combine all ingredients and place in a baking dish.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the dish browns around the edge.
Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
