Cook onion in a saucepan until tender. Add rice, garlic and cumin, stirring for 3 minutes.

Stir in 1/2 cup of broth and cook at strong simmer, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue simmering and adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each addition be absorbed before adding the next, until rice is creamy-looking but still al dente. (there will likely be leftover broth)

Stir in squash, cheese, salt, and spinach and stir.
