Ingredients
* 1 large butternut squash (about 1.5kg) or 2 small ones (about 750g each) * 1 large red onion chopped * 20g butter * 1 medium garlic clove, finely chopped * a little olive oil * salt and freshly ground black pepper * 100g feta cheese, crumbled into small lumps * 1 tbsp shredded basil leaves * 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1. Preheat the oven to 190°c/Gas Mark 5.
2. Make sure the outside of the squash is scrubbed clean. Cut the squash in half lengthways and scoop out the seeds and soft fibres. Put in an ovenproof dish, put a little chopped garlic and a small nut of butter in each cavity, brush with olive oil and season well with cinnamon, salt and pepper
3. Bake for about an hour, until the flesh feels very tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.

4. While the butternut bakes, fry onions and garlic lightly in a little butter until just soft
5. When butternut is done carefully scoop out the soft flesh, and the buttery, garlicky juices, into a bowl, leaving a 1cm-thick layer of flesh still attached to the skin, so the squash holds its shape. Roughly mash the flesh.
5. Fold the feta, onion and basil into the soft squash, along with some more salt and pepper. Spoon the filling back into the two empty squash halves, return the squashes to the oven and bake for a further 15 minutes before serving.
