Heat a frying pan to a medium heat, add 1 tbsp of olive oil to the pan and fry the other half of the onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the tomato puree and cook for a further 1 minute. Add the lentils to the pan and cook for 2 minutes until heated through, sprinkle in the parsley and stir. Season to taste.
Remove the squash from the oven and fill with lentil mixture. Crumble the herbi cheese over the squash, sprinkle with parsley and top with the pickled onions.
