1. Preheat the oven to 375F and put the rack in the middle position. Grease a baking dish with a little oil and set aside.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. When it's hot and shimmering, stir in the onion and season with a light sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook until the onion's soft but not browned, 4-6 minutes.

This dish is so good and sweet. It tastes like a healthier version of my grandmom's squash casserole. Easy, too.
