1large onion, chopped roughly
3 garlic cloves, chopped roughly

dash of olive oil

 Mix all ingredients in a roasting dish,
cook in the oven in 200 C for 45 minutes or until the squash is soft and cooked through.
Go for a walk and enjoy the autumn while you wait. 
When you come back enjoy the scent of the star anise and spices.
